Placing a risky bet and watching it pay off is one of the best feelings in life.
A year ago, we set out to achieve SoTA in stereo 3D reconstruction. Instead of building a complex model, we did the opposite: we stripped it down to a simple ViT.
Introducing NBS 🧵👇
Yesterday was my last day at @IntrinsicAI. It’s been an amazing journey. Some of the work we did together is among my proudest career achievements.
The team is cooking something great. I’d highly recommend following their progress.
As for me, stay tuned to see what’s coming next!
Look at that, turns out that rumors of Gemini’s death are greatly exaggerated. Been playing with the model internally for some time now, it’s a good model.
Introducing Gemini 4 Argon – our new frontier model.
It’s built for complex workflows across coding, enterprise knowledge work, and cybersecurity defense – rolling out today to a set of trusted testers through our Fairwind Program.

We need more postmortems like this one. Very honest and nicely written. I was concerned about the robotics data market already, this has confirmed some of my concerns
After 2+ years in the robotics data space, we are shutting @Eidon_AI down.
The thesis was right. But the business is brutally hard.
We close this chapter by open-sourcing everything we built and sharing lessons for anyone venturing into the space.

Workshop on Recovering 6D Object Pose, this Tuesday at ECCV'26 in Malmö!
🗓️ 14:00 - 19:00 on September 8 in Quality View Hotel (room Stroget 1).
🤖 This year we focus on 3D/2D object grounding and robotics.
🕸️ Website: cmp.felk.cvut.cz/sixd/worksh…
💡 Invited talks:
@RanjayKrishna (@UW, @MicrosoftAI) - It Is Time to Revisit Grounding
@b_k_bucher (@UMich) - How Much Pose Does a Robot Need? Lessons from Mobile Manipulation
@ZakharovSergeyN (@ToyotaResearch) - Closing the Loop: Synthetic Worlds for Scalable Robot Learning
Ian Chen, Trushant Adeshara (@IntrinsicAI): AI for Industry Challenge
@tomhodan (@MistralAI ), @ma_sundermeyer (@Google) - BOP Challenge 2026 & BOP-Refer Benchmark
See you on Tuesday!
These meme from @Parskatt is even more relevant with NBS

Meet NBS: SoTA stereo model (ranked #1 on ETH3D) with zero stereo inductive bias and 5-10x faster inference than FoundationStereo and S2M2.

We hope NBS pushes the frontier for 3D vision and inspires more research into bias-free, highly scalable stereo models.

Just shared some changes we’re making to the teams at @GoogleDeepMind.
@DemisHassabis is stepping up to become Chair of @GoogleDeepMind & Chief Scientist of Alphabet, in addition to leading @IsomorphicLabs. He’ll be able to dedicate his time and focus on shaping the future of AGI and scientific discovery. It’s work that is vitally important to Alphabet and humanity, and I can’t imagine a better person than Demis to do it. He’ll stay closely connected to Koray and the GDM teams.
@Koraykv will become the SVP, @GoogleDeepMind, responsible for all aspects of model development, GDM research, and @Geminiapp & dev teams. Koray has been at GDM for 13 years and is a world-renowned expert in the field, starting our deep learning team and driving breakthroughs like WaveNet & DQN. GDM is in great hands!
Excited for this next chapter. You can read my note along with the message Demis sent to @GoogleDeepMind here: blog.google/company-news/ins…

Your daily reminder that the development of advanced AI is not the end, its just the beginning. We have so many unanswered questions and mysteries about the universe around us that AI can help us with

Has anyone posted the full reasoning trace of the models coming up with counterexamples to conjectures? What is the sequence of thoughts and ideas that leads them to the result? I feel like this is the most important thing for us to understand

My every workday for years has started the same way: open arXiv's CV page, scroll 200+ new titles, hunt for the 2–3 papers I actually need. 20–30 minutes a day. I haven't skipped a day even on vacation.
Last month I finally made an LLM take over the ritual.

Every morning the bot reads every new CV paper, asks Gemini one question per paper - "is this relevant to his interests?" - and emails me a digest of the survivors.
Weeks of testing so far: zero missed papers, and my reading list is ~80% shorter.

The whole thing runs completely free: Gemini's free tier + free email + a cron job on any computer you have lying around.
It's open source. Swap in your own research interests and let it read arXiv for you: github.com/vaheta/arxivbot

A side project post:
@petrkaplunovich and I built a free meditation website a while ago - and we never told anyone.
It's inspired by a NYT story about a Harvard art historian who has her students spend 3 hours looking at a single artwork.
👇
Every day there's one new piece from the Met's open-access collection, and nothing else.
Honestly, everyone on X needs to use this to chill from all the AI FOMO and culture wars. Just look at some beautiful artworks folks!

📢 11th R6D workshop on Sep 8 at ECCV'26 in Malmö!
cmp.felk.cvut.cz/sixd/worksh…
🛝 This year focused on visual grounding capabilities of vision-language models (VLMs)
📊 New BOP-Refer benchmark on 2D/3D grounding
📄 Paper submission deadline: July 24
Since when is @homescreen__ newsletter just another random AI slop with factually wrong info? The Gemini 2.5 Pro release was like a year ago.
