Robbyant, the embodied AI unit inside Ant Group, has released the LingBot-VA 2.0.The first embodied-native foundation model. It describes a video-action foundation model for generalist robot manipulation. The research team pretrains the whole stack for embodiment instead of fine-tuning a video generator.
What is LingBot-VA 2.0?
Most video-action models reuse two components built for digital…
# Introduction
Every Python codebase has this problem. A function that starts small. Two branches, maybe three. Then someone adds a case, someone else adds another, and a year later you've got 200 lines of if/elif/else that nobody wants to touch. Here's an example:
def get_model(name):
if name == "logreg":

As generative media becomes more advanced and accessible, it’s helpful to know where content comes from, and whether it’s been altered. Today, we’re expanding our content transparency and verification tools in Search, Gemini, Chrome, Pixel and Cloud, and deepening our partnership with the broader industry. Scaling our technology Three years ago, we introduced SynthID, our…
Mistral AI has released Robostral Navigate, its first model built for embodied navigation. The 8B model takes RGB images and a plain-language instruction, then moves a robot. Notably, it reaches 76.6% success on R2R-CE validation unseen using only a single RGB camera.

This article is part of my noob series where we write about the questions people Google most but may not understand well because of complex math and everything. So, if you are here, you might have heard fine-tuning somewhere in the context of large language models (LLMs) especially. This concept already…

AI has the potential to help solve some of the world’s biggest challenges — not just in the digital realm, but in the physical world, too. Robotics is one of the most exciting frontiers of AI, where advances in language, vision and action models can help create intelligent machines that interact with the real world…
# Introduction
You want to add Claude to a Python application. Creating an account and making your first API call is straightforward. The official documentation can get you from zero to a working request in a few minutes. The next questions are usually more practical:
What does the response object contain?
How do…
Today, Google DeepMind and A24 are announcing a first-of-its-kind partnership focused on research. The collaboration pairs a world-leading research lab with the industry’s most filmmaker-forward studio to help artists develop new workflows and techniques. This ensures the tools of the future are shaped by the creators who use them. This partnership creates a deep research…
Traditional robot programming is hard to scale. It requires orchestrating multimodal perception, physical contact dynamics, diverse configurations, and execution failures by hand. Code-as-policy systems let language models compose these into executable robot programs. That makes robot behavior inspectable, editable, and debuggable.
But existing robotic coding agents run in naive execution environments. They receive only coarse,…
