Today we are releasing the dataset of table tennis ball trajectories used to train the Google DeepMind robot that can play amateur table tennis with humans (sites.google.com/corp/view/co...). This work was accepted for presentation at #ICRA2025 and we hope to see you there!

In December, I posted about our new paper on mastering board games using internal + external planning. 👇

Here's a talk now on Youtube about it given by my awesome colleague John Schultz!

2024: A year of extraordinary progress and advancement in AI As we move into 2025, we’re looking back at the astonishing progress in AI in 2024.

Theory: We were so busy shipping / publishing last year we forgot to publish our year in review.😜

Jokes aside, huge progress in LLM, Reasoning, Generative Media. In science, so many breakthroughs, flood prediction, GraphCast, semiconductor design, quantum computing. Wow!

Genie 2: A large-scale foundation world model Generating unlimited diverse training environments for future general agents

Really cool new work out of Deep Mind for video game world generation using latent diffusion! Soon you'll be able to speed run a game just by tricking a model to morph you from one location to another.

Thanks for putting this together. Would love to be added

TIL that there's a Gemini @gradio-hf.bsky.social library that lets you automatically build Python chat bots and web apps with just a few lines of code, then (optionally) deploy them as apps or in @huggingface.bsky.social Spaces.

✨🙌 Amazing work, @_akhaliq!!
