Excited to finally share “GameNGen: Diffusion Models Are Real-Time Game Engines”. It’s a personal milestone for me and a feeling of coming full circle from manually writing explicit rendering code that runs on GPUs to training neural networks that also run on GPUs, but do this >

Two robot arms move at the same speed, driven by different actuators with the same mass. The first arm collides with a table with a gentle tap. The second arm collides with the table, destroying both arm and table. Read this blog post to see why! 🦾💥 evjang.com/2024/08/31/mot…

If you are a graphics engineer and want to work on some great physics simulation problems, see below 👇. Bonus points on Rust and WebGPU experience.

AI is incredible at writing code. But that's not enough to create software. You need to set up a dev environment, install packages, configure DB, and, if lucky, deploy. It's time to automate all this. Announcing Replit Agent in early access—available today for subscribers:

a16z made this handy list of the top 50 AI Gen AI web products: a16z.com/100-gen-ai-app… We checked, and turns out that 82% use @Stripe. We've been building a bunch of functionality that's useful for AI products, including usage-based billing (stripe.com/billing/usage-…) to handle

The Polaris Dawn spacewalk is now complete, marking the first time commercial astronauts have completed a spacewalk from a commercial spacecraft! Congratulations to Jared Isaacman, Sarah Gillis, Kidd Poteet, Anna Menon, and to all the SpaceX teams!

Introducing 2️⃣ new AI systems for robotics: 🤖 ALOHA Unleashed to perform two-armed manipulation tasks 🦾 DemoStart to control a multi-fingered robotic hand They learned to tackle a range of actions requiring dexterity. Here's how. 🧵 dpmd.ai/3MI2mkT

Today, I’m excited to share with you all the fruit of our effort at OpenAI to create AI models capable of truly general reasoning: OpenAI's new o1 model series! (aka 🍓) Let me explain 🧵 1/

I confirm it's true and for a while now.

Announcing - WebGPU Puzzles: Learn GPU Programming in Your Browser It's a web app that let’s you practice writing GPU compute kernels using WebGPU - runs 100% in the browser, locally on your GPU (even tiny integrated laptop GPUs).

Very fun thread on HN front page today. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=415473…

CIRCLE NEWS: Today, we announced the availability of banking and USDC minting/redemption native in Brazil and Mexico, with 24/7 rails (PIX & SPEI) and using local currencies. This is part of our continued global banking infra expansion for USDC. circle.com/blog/usdc-now-…
