Released beneath Apache 2.0 with full coaching and benchmarking code, MapAnything advances past specialist pipelines by supporting over 12 distinct 3D imaginative…

In the domain of multimodal AI, instruction-based image editing models are transforming how users interact with visual content. Just released in August 2025 by Alibaba’s Qwen Team, Qwen-Image-Edit builds on the 20B-parameter Qwen-Image foundation to deliver advanced editing capabilities. This model excels in semantic editing (e.g., style transfer and novel view synthesis) and appearance editing…

Meta AI has just released DINOv3, a breakthrough self-supervised computer vision model that sets new standards for versatility and accuracy across dense prediction tasks, all without the need for labeled data. DINOv3 employs self-supervised learning (SSL) at an unprecedented scale, training on 1.7 billion images with a 7 billion parameter architecture. For the first time,…

Multimodal reasoning, where models integrate and interpret information from multiple sources such as text, images, and diagrams, is a frontier challenge in AI. VL-Cogito is a state-of-the-art Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) proposed by DAMO Academy (Alibaba Group) and partners, introducing a robust reinforcement learning pipeline that fundamentally upgrades the reasoning skills of large models…

Introduction Galileo is an open-source, highly multimodal foundation model developed to process, analyze, and understand diverse Earth observation (EO) data streams—including optical, radar, elevation, climate, and auxiliary maps—at scale. Galileo is developed with the support from researchers from McGill University, NASA Harvest Ai2, Carleton University, University of British Columbia, Vector Institute, and Arizona State University….
