Touch, grasp, interact! Explore Meta FAIR's latest open-source breakthroughs in embodied AI, enabling robots to feel, manipulate, and cooperate with humans like never before.

[AI at Meta @AIatMeta]

Today at Meta FAIR we’re announcing three new cutting-edge developments in robotics and touch perception — and releasing a collection of artifacts to empower the community to build on this work.

Details on all of this new work ➡️ https://t.co/iqtuBJj3lJ

1️⃣ Meta Sparsh is the first general-purpose encoder for vision-based tactile sensing that works across many tactile sensors and many tasks. Trained on 460K+ tactile images using self-supervised learning.
2️⃣ Meta Digit 360 is a breakthrough artificial fingertip-based tactile sensor, equipped with 18+ sensing features to deliver detailed touch data with human-level precision and touch-sensing capabilities.
3️⃣ Meta Digit Plexus is a standardized platform for robotic sensor connections and interactions. It provides a hardware-software solution to integrate tactile sensors on a single robot hand and enables seamless data collection, control and analysis over a single cable.

The potential impact of expanding capabilities and components like these for the open source community ranges from medical research to supply chain, manufacturing and much more. We’re excited to continue this work with the broader community.

🎥 Today we’re premiering Meta Movie Gen: the most advanced media foundation models to-date.

Developed by AI research teams at Meta, Movie Gen delivers state-of-the-art results across a range of capabilities. We’re excited for the potential of this line of research to usher in entirely new possibilities for casual creators and creative professionals alike.

More details and examples of what Movie Gen can do ➡️ https://t.co/M19x2ndwnr

🛠️ Movie Gen models and capabilities
Movie Gen Video: 30B parameter transformer model that can generate high-quality and high-definition images and videos from a single text prompt.

Movie Gen Audio: A 13B parameter transformer model that can take a video input along with optional text prompts for controllability to generate high-fidelity audio synced to the video. It can generate ambient sound, instrumental background music and foley sound — delivering state-of-the-art results in audio quality, video-to-audio alignment and text-to-audio alignment.

Precise video editing: Using a generated or existing video and accompanying text instructions as an input it can perform localized edits such as adding, removing or replacing elements — or global changes like background or style changes.

Personalized videos: Using an image of a person and a text prompt, the model can generate a video with state-of-the-art results on character preservation and natural movement in video.

We’re continuing to work closely with creative professionals from across the field to integrate their feedback as we work towards a potential release. We look forward to sharing more on this work and the creative possibilities it will enable in the future.

📣 Introducing Llama 3.2: Lightweight models for edge devices, vision models and more!

What’s new?
• Llama 3.2 1B & 3B models deliver state-of-the-art capabilities for their class for several on-device use cases — with support for @Arm, @MediaTek & @Qualcomm on day one.
• Llama 3.2 11B & 90B vision models deliver performance competitive with leading closed models — and can be used as drop-in replacements for Llama 3.1 8B & 70B.
• New Llama Guard models to support multimodal use cases and edge deployments.
• The first official distro of Llama Stack simplifies and supercharges the way developers & enterprises can build around Llama to support agentic applications and more.

Details in the full announcement ➡️ https://t.co/1bnEeLY9qf
Download Llama 3.2 models ➡️ https://t.co/DZoTQvESbG

These models are available to download now directly from Meta and @HuggingFace — and will be available across offerings from 25+ partners that are rolling out starting today, including @accenture, @awscloud, @AMD, @azure, @Databricks, @Dell, @Deloitte, @FireworksAI_HQ, @GoogleCloud, @GroqInc, @IBMwatsonx, @Infosys, @Intel, @kaggle, @NVIDIA, @OracleCloud, @PwC, @scale_AI, @snowflakeDB, @togethercompute and more.

With Llama 3.2 we’re making it possible to run Llama in even more places, with even more flexible capabilities. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: open source AI is how we ensure that these innovations reflect the global community they’re built for and benefit everyone. We’re continuing our drive to make open source the standard with Llama 3.2.

"Voyage through Time"
is my first artpiece using #stablediffusion and I am blown away with the possibilities...

We're crossing a threshold where generative AI is no longer just about novel aesthetics, but evolving into an amazing tool to build powerful, human-centered narratives

gmail switched the font from roboto to google sans???

[Tad Carpenter @TadCarpenter]

A TYPEFACE IS A SET OF GLYPHS OR ALPHABET & ITS ACCESSORIES THAT SHARE A COMMON DESIGN. EXAMPLE, HELVETICA IS A WELL KNOWN TYPEFACE. A FONT HOWEVER IS A PARTICULAR SET OF GLYPHS WITHIN A TYPEFACE, THINK WEIGHT, SIZE OR OTHER VARIABLES. PEOPLE LOVE TO SAY FONT & ARE OFTEN WRONG...

@ddayton05 It’s my subtle reminder that to create great work, I need to slice my finger tips…or something like that 😆
