NuMind AI has officially released NuMarkdown-8B-Thinking, an open-source (MIT License) reasoning OCR Vision-Language Model (VLM) that redefines how complex documents are digitized and structured. Unlike traditional OCR systems, NuMarkdown-8B-Thinking doesn’t just extract text—it thinks about a document’s layout, structure, and formatting before generating a precise, ready-to-use Markdown file. This makes it the first reasoning VLM…

Embodied AI agents that can perceive, think, and act in the real world mark a key step toward the future of robotics. A central challenge is building scalable, reliable robotic manipulation, the skill of deliberately interacting with and controlling objects through selective contact. While progress spans analytic methods, model-based approaches, and large-scale data-driven learning, most…
