Artificial Intelligence has come a long way in recent years. From chatbots that answer questions to AI systems that compose music or create art, machines are beginning to mimic some aspects of human intelligence. But one question fascinates scientists, technologists, and the general public alike: Can AI really think like a human?
“AI can mimic…

# Introduction
Python is the default language of data science for good reasons. It has a mature ecosystem, a low barrier to entry, and libraries that let you move from idea to result very quickly. NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch, and Jupyter Notebook form a workflow that is hard to beat…
Salesforce AI research team present FOFPred, a language driven future optical flow prediction framework that connects large vision language models with diffusion transformers for dense motion forecasting in control and video generation settings. FOFPred takes one or more images and a natural language instruction such as ‘moving the bottle from right to left’ and predicts…
Introducing D4RT, a unified AI model for 4D scene reconstruction and tracking across space and time. Anytime we look at the world, we perform an extraordinary feat of memory and prediction. We see and understand things as they are at a given moment in time, as they were a moment ago, and how they are…

# Introduction
AI coding tools are getting impressively good at writing Python code that works. They can build entire applications and implement complex algorithms in minutes. However, the code AI generates is often a pain to maintain.
If you are using tools like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or Cursor's agentic…
Black Forest Labs releases FLUX.2 [klein], a compact image model family that targets interactive visual intelligence on consumer hardware. FLUX.2 [klein] extends the FLUX.2 line with sub second generation and editing, a unified architecture for text to image and image to image, and deployment options that range from local GPUs to cloud APIs, while keeping…
Increasing speed of discovery Cyril Zipfel, professor of Molecular & Cellular Plant Physiology at the University of Zurich and Sainsbury Lab, saw research timelines shrink drastically. They used AlphaFold alongside comparative genomics to better understand how plants perceive changes in their environment, paving the way for more resilient crops. AlphaFold has been cited in more…

# Introduction
For the last couple of years, the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution in coding felt like having a very fast junior developer sitting next to you. Tools like GitHub Copilot or Cursor were amazing at finishing your sentences, but you were still the one holding the steering wheel for…
Today, Veo is getting more expressive, with improvements that help you create more fun, creative, high-quality videos based on ingredient images, built directly for the mobile format. We’re excited to bring new creative possibilities for everyone from casual storytellers to professional filmmakers. We’re releasing: Improvements to Veo 3.1 Ingredients to Video, our capability that lets…
Evaluating OCR systems that convert PDFs or document images into Markdown is far more complex than it appears. Unlike plain text OCR, OCR-to-Markdown requires models to recover content, layout, reading order, and representation choices simultaneously. Today’s benchmarks attempt to score this with a mix of string matching, heuristic alignment, and format-specific rules—but in practice, these…
