Meet HopeJr, a full humanoid robot lowering the barrier to entry! Capable of walking, manipulating many objects, open-source and costs under $3000 🤯 Designed by Rob Knight and Hugging Face 👇

Anyone in my feed with a lerobot So-100 ready to make a call now ? I would like to try something crazy 😁

Pro tips: Don't use your GPU during the summer, I'm almost dying rn

Teasing something

New paper: Contrastive Flow Matching - a simple trick that makes diffusion models generate better images with 5x fewer steps and train 9x faster. No extra compute needed, just smarter training. 🧵

✨New preprint: Dual-Process Image Generation! We distill *feedback from a VLM* into *feed-forward image generation*, at inference time. The result is flexible control: parameterize tasks as multimodal inputs, visually inspect the images with the VLM, and update the generator.🧵
