The inaugural SiteRx Data Science Hackathon was a resounding success! Congratulations to the entire team. I’m very excited for our AI innovations to help patients connect to clinical trials

We recently obtained the highest-resolution 3D images of the human brain ever taken from outside the skull. This is the first look.

Introducing Aleph, a research lab building brain interfaces for the telepathic future. (1/n)

@elonmusk @testerlabor The C64 was my first computer. So many good memories!

apparently this is the "OS" you get when you combine a 2.2B param RNN "kernel" with a 263M param diffusion-based "renderer"

Is there a way to modify a file's birth/creation timestamp in Linux (ext4 fs)? Everything I'm finding states it's currently not possible with userspace tools.

Happy New Year!

Everything you love about generative models — now powered by real physics!

Announcing the Genesis project — after a 24-month large-scale research collaboration involving over 20 research labs — a generative physics engine able to generate 4D dynamical worlds powered by a physics simulation platform designed for general-purpose robotics and physical AI applications.

Genesis's physics engine is developed in pure Python, while being 10-80x faster than existing GPU-accelerated stacks like Isaac Gym and MJX. It delivers a simulation speed ~430,000 faster than in real-time, and takes only 26 seconds to train a robotic locomotion policy transferrable to the real world on a single RTX4090 (see tutorial: https://t.co/bEkIlCKqdf).

The Genesis physics engine and simulation platform is fully open source at https://t.co/DhBv7NdyqH. We'll gradually roll out access to our generative framework in the near future.

Genesis implements a unified simulation framework all from scratch, integrating a wide spectrum of state-of-the-art physics solvers, allowing simulation of the whole physical world in a virtual realm with the highest realism.

We aim to build a universal data engine that leverages an upper-level generative framework to autonomously create physical worlds, together with various modes of data, including environments, camera motions, robotic task proposals, reward functions, robot policies, character motions, fully interactive 3D scenes, open-world articulated assets, and more, aiming towards fully automated data generation for robotics, physical AI and other applications.
