NEW: Apple releases FastVLM and MobileCLIP2 on Hugging Face! 🤗 The models are up to 85x faster and 3.4x smaller than previous work, enabling real-time VLM applications! 🤯 It can even do live video captioning 100% locally in your browser (zero install). Huge for accessibility!

🚨 Apple just released FastVLM on Hugging Face - 0.5, 1.5 and 7B real-time VLMs with WebGPU support 🤯 > 85x faster and 3.4x smaller than comparable sized VLMs > 7.9x faster TTFT for larger models > designed to output fewer output tokens and reduce encoding time for high

New preprint & open-source! 🚨 “SimpleFold: Folding Proteins is Simpler than You Think” (arxiv.org/abs/2509.18480). We ask: Do protein folding models really need expensive and domain-specific modules like pair representation? We build SimpleFold, a 3B scalable folding model solely

Introducing Pretraining with Hierarchical Memories: Separating Knowledge & Reasoning for On-Device LLM Deployment 💡We propose dividing LLM parameters into 1) anchor (always used, capturing commonsense) and 2) memory bank (selected per query, capturing world knowledge). [1/X]🧵

🚀New Paper arxiv.org/abs/2510.20860 We conduct a systematic data-centric study for speech-language pretraining, to improve end-to-end spoken-QA! 🎙️🤖 Using our data-centric insights, we pretrain a 3.8B SpeechLM (called SpeLangy) outperforming 3x larger models! 🧵👇
