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…
Micromobility solutions—such as delivery robots, mobility scooters, and electric wheelchairs—are rapidly transforming short-distance urban travel. Despite their growing popularity as flexible, eco-friendly transport alternatives, most micromobility devices still rely heavily on human control. This dependence limits operational efficiency and raises safety concerns, especially in complex, crowded city environments filled with dynamic obstacles like pedestrians and…
Robotic grasping is a cornerstone task for automation and manipulation, critical in domains spanning from industrial picking to service and humanoid robotics. Despite decades of research, achieving robust, general-purpose 6-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) grasping remains a challenging open problem. Recently, NVIDIA unveiled GraspGen, a novel diffusion-based grasp generation framework that promises to bring state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance with unprecedented…
The Rising Need for Scalable Reasoning Models in Machine Intelligence Advanced reasoning models are at the frontier of machine intelligence, especially in domains like math problem-solving and symbolic reasoning.
