# Introduction to Keeping Secrets
Storing sensitive information like API keys, database passwords, or tokens directly in your Python code is dangerous. If these secrets are leaked, attackers can break into your systems, and your organization can suffer loss of trust, financial and legal consequences. Instead, you should externalize secrets…
In August, we previewed Genie 3, a general-purpose world model capable of generating diverse, interactive environments. Even in this early form, trusted testers were able to create an impressive range of fascinating worlds and experiences, and uncovered entirely new ways to use it. The next step is to broaden access through a dedicated, interactive prototype…
How do you build a single vision language action model that can control many different dual arm robots in the real world? LingBot-VLA is Ant Group Robbyant’s new Vision Language Action foundation model that targets practical robot manipulation in the real world. It is trained on about 20,000 hours of teleoperated bimanual data collected from 9…
Artificial Intelligence has come a long way in recent years. From chatbots that answer questions to AI systems that compose music or create art, machines are beginning to mimic some aspects of human intelligence. But one question fascinates scientists, technologists, and the general public alike: Can AI really think like a human?
“AI can mimic…

# Introduction
Python is the default language of data science for good reasons. It has a mature ecosystem, a low barrier to entry, and libraries that let you move from idea to result very quickly. NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch, and Jupyter Notebook form a workflow that is hard to beat…
Salesforce AI research team present FOFPred, a language driven future optical flow prediction framework that connects large vision language models with diffusion transformers for dense motion forecasting in control and video generation settings. FOFPred takes one or more images and a natural language instruction such as ‘moving the bottle from right to left’ and predicts…
Introducing D4RT, a unified AI model for 4D scene reconstruction and tracking across space and time. Anytime we look at the world, we perform an extraordinary feat of memory and prediction. We see and understand things as they are at a given moment in time, as they were a moment ago, and how they are…

# Introduction
When building machine learning models with moderate to high complexity, there is an ample range of model parameters that are not learned from data, but instead must be set by us a priori: these are known as hyperparameters. Models like random forest ensembles and neural networks have a…
Black Forest Labs releases FLUX.2 [klein], a compact image model family that targets interactive visual intelligence on consumer hardware. FLUX.2 [klein] extends the FLUX.2 line with sub second generation and editing, a unified architecture for text to image and image to image, and deployment options that range from local GPUs to cloud APIs, while keeping…
Increasing speed of discovery Cyril Zipfel, professor of Molecular & Cellular Plant Physiology at the University of Zurich and Sainsbury Lab, saw research timelines shrink drastically. They used AlphaFold alongside comparative genomics to better understand how plants perceive changes in their environment, paving the way for more resilient crops. AlphaFold has been cited in more…
