Less Gaussians, Texture More: 4K Feed-Forward Textured Splatting

Existing feed-forward 3D Gaussian Splatting methods predict pixel-aligned primitives, leading to a quadratic growth in primitive count as resolution increases. This fundamentally limits their scalability, making high-resolution synthesis such as 4K intractable. We introduce LGTM (Less Gaussians, Texture More), a feed-forward framework that overcomes this resolution scaling barrier. By predicting compact Gaussian primitives coupled with per-primitive textures, LGTM decouples geometric complexity from rendering resolution. This approach enables high-fidelity 4K novel view synthesis without…

Drop-In Perceptual Optimization for 3D Gaussian Splatting

Despite their output being ultimately consumed by human viewers, 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) methods often rely on ad-hoc combinations of pixel-level losses, resulting in blurry renderings. To address this, we systematically explore perceptual optimization strategies for 3DGS by searching over a diverse set of distortion losses. We conduct the first-of-its-kind…

For anyone wondering how I manage to do this, here’s a quick explanation with a small tutorial

First, in Minimax, I use a prompt like this: “The character remains completely frozen in place, perfectly still like a statue. The camera smoothly orbits 360 degrees around the character in one continuous shot. No character movement, no pose change, no cuts.” Then I use COLMAP: Create a new database…

How Much of a Harness Does a Strong Agent Need for Autonomous ML Engineering?

Recent autonomous machine learning engineering (MLE) agents have made significant progress on public leaderboards. Often motivated by progress stagnation over long-horizon cycles and limited Large Language Model (LLM) primitives, modern MLE agents are deployed on top of increasingly elaborate machinery: multi-agent orchestrators, dedicated retrieval subagents, and more. While such harnesses…
