Yelp can now call on your behalf to check wait times at a restaurant
Yelp introduces Check for Me feature that lets AI agent call restaurants on user's behalf Over the last few weeks personal assistants like Instinct Fo and Muse have enabled users to call businesses for customer support and appoint...
Show HN: Local embedding and ranking for tech feeds
A calm localhost homepage for science and tech feeds Many readers tire of social feeds optimized for engagement rather than substance. okaeri offers an alternative: a localhost homepage that gathers the latest papers blogs forums...
Text-to-Image Generative Modeling Without Language Pretraining
The dominant paradigm for text-to-image (T2I) generation has long relied on internet-scale language pretraining. Models such as those in the LlamaGen and JiT-T2I families incorporate large language model components pretrained on v...
Reinforcement Learning with Visually Attributable On-Policy Self-Distillation
Multimodal reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) provides reliable task-level supervision, yet offers limited guidance for localizing errors in visual reasoning. On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) complements this...
MLIR CodeGen Dialects for Machine Learning Compilers (2022)
MLIR has become the de facto infrastructure for building machine learning compilers, not because it was designed specifically for ML, but because its dialect system solves the composability problems that make ML compiler stacks so...
Rethinking the design space of Vanilla Pixel Diffusion Transformers
Pixel-space diffusion models have re-emerged as an alternative to latent diffusion, eliminating the need for a separately trained autoencoder and its associated bottleneck. A prior result from JiT demonstrated that a vanilla diffu...
CocoRNA: Collective RNA Design with Cooperative Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning
Designing RNA sequences that reliably fold into specific secondary structures is essential for understanding their biological functions but remains a challenging computational problem. RNA, or ribonucleic acid, stores genetic info...
Steering beyond Language: Improving Multilingual Training-Free Text Embeddings via Paired-Residual Subspace Removal
Deriving text embeddings directly from frozen large language models has emerged as a promising direction, yet existing methods focus almost exclusively on English, leaving multilingual settings largely unexplored. This work presen...
FuTransformer: FP8 prefill and INT4 decode for Llama-style inference on Hopper
Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) explain foundation model representations by decomposing activations into sparse combinations of learned dictionary atoms. However, the learned dictionaries can vary across training runs, limiting the rel...
SoftCache: Adaptive Step Size Caching for Diffusion Transformers
Diffusion and flow models generate a sample over iterative steps, each a full pass through a large network, and that pass dominates generation cost. Training-free caching accelerates them by reusing activations from recent evaluat...
