Don't understand all the AI jargon everyone around you keeps saying? You're welcome, I made the updated AI dictionary 🥳🥳- : - The bitter lesson - scale beats everything else, especially your clever idea - Brain-inspired - we read one neuroscience abstract in 2019 - AGI - whatever the current models can't do yet - Superintelligence - AGI, but the last name was taken - Self improvement - letting a coding agent run your experiments - Recursive self improvement - the same thing but it sounds more impressive - RL - it works now, we just don't know why this time - Memory - a text file the agent appends to - Continual learning - solved next year, every year since 2016 - Agent framework - the same model prompted five different ways and called a team Novel architecture - a transformer - Frontier model - our model - Technical report - a paper with the methods section removed - Emergent capabilities - a metric we didn't plot until it went up - Neolab - a bunch of ex-{Meta, OpenAI, GDM} people who think they know better - We fired because of AI - we did not fire because of AI - We're hiring - we raised Hope this helps. See you in the next edition, the field should generate enough new terms by Friday!

A little complain to #cvpr There are too many empty posters and that’s a shame considering it’s the main reason we are here (and we paid for this). I understand travel restrictions, but we must find a solution. Even considering hosting CVPR in another country than US.

Authors at @CVPR , the poster session is huge and not all the people will attend the oral/keynote sessions. I strongly suggest you to start the poster session before schedule to let more people pass by.

Computer vision means something very different than it did 4 years ago. I’ll be at CVPR in Denver this week, and the ~4,000 accepted papers tell a story.

What’s almost absent? Perception. Detection, segmentation, tracking — the core of CV for the last decade — is now just 167 papers (4.1%). RL papers alone outnumber all of classic perception.

If you’re in Denver, reach out. Let’s talk science in front of a poster (or a beer) 🍺 Networking is the most important — and most fun — part anyway.

Am I the only one that tried to use WIKI-LLM or similar stuff but get stuck with data ingestion? E.g.: Doing a meeting, collecting transcript from meet, manually copying it into a folder, parse it with Claude. Is there any smart solution for that?

Fuck, that’s cool. Would be curios to compare also the local models (27B maybe?)
Qwen 3.7-max beats Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5 We tested three frontier models on a real agentic task: write a Tetris bot that plays the game and trains itself. Each model could read its own code, run benchmarks, and rewrite itself across 10 iterations. Then we compared the final bots head to head. Qwen 3.7-Max: training cost $1.32, bot improvement +56% Claude Opus 4.7: training cost $12.15, bot improvement +28% GPT-5.5: training cost $2.85, bot improvement +7% Qwen won on every dimension - biggest jump, 9× cheaper than Claude, 2× cheaper than GPT. Long agentic loops is where Qwen Max actually delivers.

This is where we are right now. And i’m not gonna lie it feels pretty magical 🧚‍♀️ Qwen3.6 27B running inside of Pi coding agent via Llama.cpp on the MacBook Pro For non-trivial tasks on the @huggingface codebases, this feels very, very close to hitting the latest Opus in Claude Code, or whatever shiny monopolistic closed source API of the day is. In full airplane mode. Most people haven’t realized this yet. If you have, it means you have a huge headstart to what I call the second revolution of AI. Powerful local models for efficiency, security, privacy, sovereignty 🔥

What if a model could learn dense semantic matches from just a handful of annotated landmarks, while still generalizing to unseen keypoints and categories — and running 10× faster than diffusion-based approaches? MARCO is selected as an Oral at #CVPR2026! A unified model for generalizable semantic correspondence, built on DINOv2⭐️ 👉 Try our model: github.com/visinf/MARCO

Launching Lens, our fine-tuning service for Moondream. Improve Moondream's accuray to production-ready levels in hours, with as few as 20 images. Example: we taught Moondream to find the player with the ball in NBA footage. F1 jumped from 28% to 79%, beating ChatGPT. 54 minutes, $16.89. Fine-tune your own: moondream.ai/blog/lens-moond…

Do anyone know if there are benchmarks / repositories for benchmarking coding agents skills? I'm thinking of some kind of exercises to test if skill actually increase performances or not. The caveman skills was very hyped lately and I agree with some people that's bullshit.

Yes, but how much are people spending for this? We need those models and agents to run locally in our machines to really achieve a new level for AI

Computer Vision is moving past the "box" era. 📦💀 We put a VLM on a Jetson Orin @NVIDIAAI to give it an actual brain. 🧠⚡️ No training. No labels. Just a prompt. The VLM doesn't just alert; it reasons. The future of video is contextual, explainable, and running on the Edge

#CVPR What is the best use of the review title? I struggle to find something which doesn't sound stupid and generic like "nice paper but it has drawbacks"
