Super excited to announce the release of Stable Video Diffusion (SVD) -- the first set of video models in the Stable Diffusion series. To start with, we release 14-frame (SVD) and 25-frame image-to-video (SVD-XT) models. The code/weights are already out!

Large text-generation AIs require massive resources (Anthropic is raising billions to beat OpenAI), but visual AI is advancing with tiny teams.

Example: Blockade Labs is under a dozen people & generates 3D scenes from text. Free & no registration needed: https://t.co/1MIBpO0NsA

Meme Legends 3 🔥 Photoshop AI.

I hope you cheer up and remember the legends. 🫡

What memes would you like to see in the next part?

A survey of LLMs with a practical guide and evolutionary tree.

Number of LLMs from Meta = 7
Number of open source LLMs from Meta = 7

The architecture nomenclature for LLMs is somewhat confusing and unfortunate.
What's called "encoder only" actually has an encoder and a decoder (just not an auto-regressive decoder).
What's called "encoder-decoder" really means "encoder with auto-regressive decoder"
What's called "decoder only" really means "auto-regressive encoder-decoder"

Enough with LLMs - exciting things are happening in the world of atoms.

This is Stanford ALOHA, a low-cost and agile robot platform. The whole system is open-source (!!): hardware design, CAD models for 3D printing, simulator, and training code. Time to graft a physical arm onto GPTs 🦾

Led by my friend @tonyzzhao at Stanford, and advised by @chelseabfinn @svlevine @Vikashplus.

La Liga is back with 7 games going in parallel all across Bein Sports! They all have these Southpark-like virtual audiences. I think I see Cartman in there..

Thank you @Use_Screen for making the product free during the coronavirus outbreak. My team is going to try it for pairing and code-reviews.

3.7 million of you chose not to ride with us yesterday because you want to #flattenthecurve.

We miss you, but for now, we’ll say: thank you for not riding with us. You’re keeping NYC safer.

https://t.co/XJj7B2t6zL Can't tell if this is service-mesh jumping the shark or what. It's like npm.js for your Kubernetes sidecars! I can't even.

It's bad enough that New York doesn't have open data for its coronavirus cases; having to scrape ever changing html with silly typos (like surprise ":" suffixes) is just putting salt on a wound.

Instead of everyone with a jupyter notebook making pretty graphs, I wish the focus was on building a reliable data-pipeline for https://t.co/dEQG0T9hcv so we could have consistent US data (backwards compatible, backfilled, id-driven, normalized)

SIGGRAPH reviewers didn't find your industry research or systems paper appropriate?

https://t.co/YsnWnjQROd is a good place to publish. You can submit in the SIGGRAPH template with your reviews. Great work from Disney, NVIDIA, Unity, Pixar, Terathon has already appeared there.

JetBrains should step up to Visual Studio's LiveShare, with hundreds of thousands of developers WFH, the pressure to use VSCode is growing, specially for poorly supported languages like Go.
