I'll be in SF next week for #COLM2026 to present our paper at the tokenization workshop! I'd love to chat about *token-efficient language models*, long-horizon training, and ofc, language modeling beyond English!
Our new paper is online: Dynamic Multi-Byte Prediction With Hierarchical Language Models Hierarchical byte-level LMs have begun to gain increasing adoption due to their tokenizer-free advantage, but they lag behind subword models with respect to inference speed. 🧵 1/n

📢 Live in a few minutes — join us! @Cohere_Labs' Computer Vision community leads, Mayank Bhaskar (@cataluna84) and Benedict (@Arkhymadhe), are hosting a special session with Daniel Ajisafe on a topic every video-AI practitioner should care about: how to make video generation models faithfully follow user intent — with minimal edits, not full re-renders. This matters because current video diffusion pipelines are expensive and brittle to fine-grained edits. @danielajisafe's work tackles that head-on. 📄 Paper: "Making Video Models Adhere to User Intent with Minor Adjustments" arxiv.org/abs/2603.19672 📅 Today, 14th July 2026 ⏰ 11:00 AM EDT 🔗 Join here: luma.com/syz5r5pg?tk=LCDIEq If you work in generative video, diffusion models, or multimodal AI — this is worth 60 minutes of your time. Tag a colleague who'd want in. #ComputerVision #GenerativeAI #VideoGeneration #MachineLearning
📌Our work on controllable video generation is being presented at the @CVPR 2026 AI for Creative Visual Content Workshop! 💡TLDR: ironically, minor deviations from control signals allow for better control adherence. 🧵(1/n) #CVPR2026 @cveu_workshop @RBCBorealis @UBC_CS

Introducing the 2026-27 Vector Scholarship in AI recipients! 🌟 We're thrilled to announce 100 exceptional graduate students across Ontario have each received a $17,500 scholarship – $1.75 million invested in Canada's AI future. This year's cohort comes from 13 universities, spanning computer science, engineering, health informatics, data science, and business. Now in its ninth year, the program has supported more than 900 students at Ontario universities since 2018. "We're proud to support 100 exceptional students this year with $17,500 scholarships, but the real value of the Vector Scholarship in AI is the powerful ecosystem they join. From day one, recipients are connected to mentors, peers and industry leaders who help transform them from graduate students into the researchers, entrepreneurs and practitioners who will define the next decade of AI in this province." – Melissa Judd, VP, Research Operations and Academic Partnerships, Vector Institute Congratulations to all of this year’s recipients and all the best in your incredible journeys ahead.
