Zyphra Release Zamba2-VL: Hybrid Mamba2–Transformer Vision-Language Models That Cut Time-to-First-Token by About an Order of Magnitude

Zyphra has released Zamba2-VL, a family of open vision-language models. The release covers three sizes: 1.2B, 2.7B, and 7B parameters. Each model is built on the Zamba2 hybrid SSM–Transformer backbone. Vision-language models (VLMs) read images and text together. They answer questions about charts, documents, and photos. Most open VLMs use a dense Transformer as…

Introducing DiffusionGemma

Why diffusion for text? While the AI research community has explored diffusion-based text generation for years, applying it to large models has remained a challenge. DiffusionGemma changes this by shifting how models use hardware. The trade-off with traditional models Most language models act like a typewriter, generating one token at a time from left to…

A Hands-On Coding Tutorial on Qualcomm AI Hub Models for Classification, Object Detection, and Hardware-Aware Deployment

In this tutorial, we work through an end-to-end workflow for Qualcomm AI Hub Models. We start by setting up the required package, discovering the available model collection, and loading MobileNet-V2 for local PyTorch inference. We also handle an important input-shape issue by converting NHWC image tensors into the NCHW format expected by the model. From…

Gemini 3.5 Live Translate is here

Twenty years ago, translation at Google began as one of our pioneering machine learning experiments to turn the science of language into the magic of human connection. That experiment has come a long way with over a trillion words being translated for billions of users across our products every month. Today, we’re taking our next…
