RecA: A new finetuning method that doesn’t use image captions.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.07295 “We introduce Reconstruction Alignment (RecA), a resource-efficient post-training method that leverages visual understanding encoder embeddings as dense “text prompts,” providing rich supervision without captions. Concretely, RecA conditions a UMM on its own visual understanding embeddings and optimizes it to reconstruct the input image with a self-supervised reconstruction loss, thereby realigning understanding and generation.” https://huggingface.co/sanaka87/BAGEL-RecA …

Reaching Across the Isles: UK-LLM Brings AI to UK Languages With NVIDIA Nemotron
Celtic languages — including Cornish, Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Welsh — are the U.K.’s oldest living languages. To empower their speakers, the UK-LLM sovereign AI initiative is building an AI model based on NVIDIA Nemotron that can reason in both English and Welsh, a language spoken by about 850,000 people in Wales today. Enabling high-quality …

Automate advanced agentic RAG pipeline with Amazon SageMaker AI
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a fundamental approach for building advanced generative AI applications that connect large language models (LLMs) to enterprise knowledge. However, crafting a reliable RAG pipeline is rarely a one-shot process. Teams often need to test dozens of configurations (varying chunking strategies, embedding models, retrieval techniques, and prompt designs) before arriving at …

Cancel Culture Comes for Artists Who Posted About Charlie Kirk’s Death
A “South Park” episode was taken off air, a DC comic series was canceled, and several artists were fired in the aftermath of the shooting.
WAN 2.2 Animation – Fixed Slow Motion
I created this animation as part of my tests to find the balance between image quality and motion in low-step generation. By combining LightX Loras, I think I’ve found the right combination to achieve motion that isn’t slow, which is a common problem with LightX Loras. But I still need to work on the image …
The Roadmap for Mastering AI-Assisted Coding in 2025
AI-assisted coding was something virtually nobody could even imagine a few years back, but to some extent, it has now become part of many developers’ workflows — be it for generating specific code snippets, debugging existing code, or even orchestrating tasks.
Enhance video understanding with Amazon Bedrock Data Automation and open-set object detection
In real-world video and image analysis, businesses often face the challenge of detecting objects that weren’t part of a model’s original training set. This becomes especially difficult in dynamic environments where new, unknown, or user-defined objects frequently appear. For example, media publishers might want to track emerging brands or products in user-generated content; advertisers need …
