Researchers at New York University have developed a new architecture for diffusion models that improves the semantic representation of the images they generate. “Diffusion Transformer with Representation Autoencoders” (RAE) challenges some of the accepted norms of building diffusion models. The NYU researcher's model is more efficient and accurate than standard diffusion models, takes advantage of the latest research in representation learning and could pave the way for new applications that were previously too difficult or expensive.This breakthrough could unlock more reliable and powerful features for enterprise applications. "To edit images well, a model has to really understand what’s in them,"…

The Milky Way is a rich and complex environment. We see it as a luminous line stretching across the night sky, composed of innumerable stars.But that’s just the visible light. Observing the sky in other ways, such as through radio waves, provides a much more nuanced scene—full of charged particles and magnetic fields.For decades, astronomers have used radio telescopes to explore our galaxy. By studying the properties of the objects residing in the Milky Way, we can better understand its evolution and composition.Our study, published recently in Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, provides new insights into the structure…

Across industries, rising compute expenses are often cited as a barrier to AI adoption — but leading companies are finding that cost is no longer the real constraint. The tougher challenges (and the ones top of mind for many tech leaders)? Latency, flexibility and capacity. At Wonder, for instance, AI adds a mere few cents per order; the food delivery and takeout company is much more concerned with cloud capacity with skyrocketing demands. Recursion, for its part, has been focused on balancing small and larger-scale training and deployment via on-premises clusters and the cloud; this has afforded the biotech company…

There’s not much in this world I dislike more than a subscription. I’m the type of person who pays for full-year subscriptions to apps or other services at one time, then thinks about renewing them the next year. That same mentality extends into my car. I’ve written about infotainment here at Pocket-lint for quite some time now, and these four apps stay in my rotation no matter what. Whether it’s getting your audiobooks for free by supporting local libraries or keeping up with your favorite college sports teams, there are plenty of free apps that can keep you more than…

The developers of Terminal-Bench, a benchmark suite for evaluating the performance of autonomous AI agents on real-world terminal-based tasks, have released version 2.0 alongside Harbor, a new framework for testing, improving and optimizing AI agents in containerized environments. The dual release aims to address long-standing pain points in testing and optimizing AI agents, particularly those built to operate autonomously in realistic developer environments.With a more difficult and rigorously verified task set, Terminal-Bench 2.0 replaces version 1.0 as the standard for assessing frontier model capabilities. Harbor, the accompanying runtime framework, enables developers and researchers to scale evaluations across thousands of cloud…

Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images/Futurism White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt took to X-formerly-Twitter this week to mock the space agency’s since-abandoned commitment to sending the first woman and first person of color to the Moon. Leavitt shared an April article by the conservative news website The Daily Signal, with the message of her tweet bearing only its title: “NASA Nominee Plans to Prioritize America First Agenda in Space, Not DEI.” The whiplash is jarring. After all, it was the first Trump administration that boasted about its plans to send the “first woman” to the Moon just five years ago. In fact,…

If you’re in the market for an upgrade to an iPhone, but don’t want to spend a fortune on a new one, then the Apple iPhone 15 is the deal for you. Even at its original price, the iPhone 15 was a gorgeous-looking phone that now feels far more like a mid-priced handset than a super premium one, but don’t let that put you off. You can now pick up the Apple iPhone 15 512GB in green for just £749 on Argos, which is its lowest price for the smartphone and a far cry from the £1099 launch cost. Score…

Once you’ve set up your monitor, you’ll rarely look at the ports on the back again. But aside from the display and power connections you’ve already used, most monitors also include a USB port. That little USB port on your monitor can serve several purposes, depending on its specifications, but assuming it works like your computer’s USB ports is where many people go wrong. In most cases, these ports aren’t the powerful, all-purpose hubs you might expect. That’s why it’s important to understand what that port is actually for before you plug in anything. What are a monitor’s USB ports…
