Hugging Face Inc. today open-sourced SmolVLM-256M, a new vision language model with the lowest parameter count in its category. The algorithm’s small footprint allows it to run on devices such as ...

Foundation models have made great advances in robotics, enabling the creation of vision-language-action (VLA) models that generalize to objects, scenes, and tasks beyond their training data. However, ...

Figure AI has unveiled HELIX, a pioneering Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model that integrates vision, language comprehension, and action execution into a single neural network. This innovation allows ...

What if a robot could not only see and understand the world around it but also respond to your commands with the precision and adaptability of a human? Imagine instructing a humanoid robot to “set the ...

Large language models, or LLMs, are the AI engines behind Google’s Gemini, ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude, and the rest. But they have a sibling: VLMs, or vision language models. At the most basic level, ...

As I highlighted in my last article, two decades after the DARPA Grand Challenge, the autonomous vehicle (AV) industry is still waiting for breakthroughs—particularly in addressing the “long tail ...

MIT researchers discovered that vision-language models often fail to understand negation, ignoring words like “not” or “without.” This flaw can flip diagnoses or decisions, with models sometimes ...

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development of computational models inspired by the brain's layered organization, also ...
