1/ Model architectures have been mostly treated as fixed post-training. 🌱 Introducing Grafting: A new way to edit pretrained diffusion transformers, allowing us to customize architectural designs on a small compute budget. 🌎 Co-led with @MichaelPoli6

During the development of Spark, we built a demo to showcase the potential of using full scale AI generated 3D worlds as immersive VR environments.

Open Sourcing Forge: 3D Gaussian splat rendering for web developers! 3DGS has become a dominant paradigm for differentiable rendering, combining high visual quality and real-time rendering. However, support for splatting on the web still lags behind its adoption in AI.

How to scale visual affordance learning that is fine-grained, task-conditioned, works in-the-wild, in dynamic envs? Introducing Unsupervised Affordance Distillation (UAD): distills affordances from off-the-shelf foundation models, *all without manual labels*. Very excited this is nominated as Best Paper Finalist at #ICRA2025! 🧵👇
