EmbeddingGemma 2 Expands Beyond Text to Support Code, Images, Video, and Audio
Google released EmbeddingGemma 2, a compact open-weight multimodal embedding model based on Gemma 4, designed to make semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation more efficient while optimizing for on-device deployment. The...
Buildkite Adds Scoped Secrets and New Agentic CI Tools
Continuous integration provider Buildkite has introduced pipeline-scoped secrets and new Model Context Protocol tools for validating pipelines, diagnosing failed builds and repairing webhooks. The company has also added Linux arm6...
CacheVerifier, check if verifying LLM cache hits helps your traffic
CacheVerifier provides a verification layer for semantic caches, checking gray-zone cache hits with a cross-encoder before answers are served. The hosted API verifies given query and candidate cached answer pairs, approving or rej...
Show HN: Strot – Compile an LLM's intent once, run decisions locally
Compile intent once, decide forever with STROT STROT introduces a different approach to LLM-mediated text processing. The framework lets you compile your intent once with an LLM, then decide on every record as type-safe JSON with...
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...
Blind Precise Assembly: Proprioceptive Sim-to-Real Peg-in-Hole for Diverse Parts
The dominant paradigm in robotic assembly has long relied on exteroceptive sensing—vision, force/torque sensors, or dedicated tactile skins—to guide contact-rich motions. This work questions whether a robot's own joint encoders pr...
AI-Driven Reproducibility and Analytical Robustness in Scientific Discovery
The pursuit of reproducible findings underpins credible scientific progress, yet the manual effort required to verify claims across large corpora of research has grown proportionally with publication volume. SEER-Driven Reproducib...
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...
MOSS: Multimodal Origami Swamp Robot System
The task of developing robotic systems for environmental monitoring in wetlands and swamps requires operation across diverse terrestrial and aquatic conditions. Conventional fixed-geometry wheels cannot adapt their contact geometr...
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...
