📢 Our lab has been exploring 3D world models for years — and we’re thrilled to share **PhysTwin**: a milestone that reconstructs object appearance, geometry, and dynamics from just a few seconds of interaction! Led by the amazing Hanxiao Jiang 👉 PhysTwin combines **Gaussian splatting** with **inverse dynamics optimization** based on simple **spring-mass** systems. ⚙️ The result? Real-time, action-conditioned 3D video prediction under novel interactions (i.e., 3D world models). 🔑 A few key takeaways: 1. Having the right structure (e.g., particles/masses) helps navigate the trade-off between sample efficiency, generalization, and broad applicability. 2. Visual foundation models (VFMs) have matured to the point where they can provide rich supervision for world modeling (e.g., tracking, shape completion). 3. Beyond VFMs, many crucial components have come together in recent years: Gaussian splats for rendering, NVIDIA Warp for high-performance simulation, and scene/asset generation from a wide range of labs and companies. The future of 3D world models is looking bright! ✨ 4. The resulting digital twin supports a wide range of downstream applications—especially in data generation and policy evaluation, thanks to its realistic rendering and simulation capabilities. 🎥 All code and data to reproduce the results, along with interactive demos, are available on the website. Check the following visualizations of: (1) observations, (2) reconstructed state/actions, (3) interactive digital twins, and (4) the overlays between real-world robot teleoperation and our model’s open-loop predictions.

Gemini-powered robot can now effectively debug itself! I've been obsessed with two main questions in robotics: can robots learn from their own mistakes without humans in the loop, and how much can we leverage synthetic data? Spoiler: yes, and it's surprisingly elegant once you have the right primitives in place. The architecture is fairly simple (and optimized for GPU_Poor users): Component I: Gemini Brain ♊️ - Gemini 2.0 Flash analyzes all training episodes through both camera perspectives - Gemini 2.0 Pro creates a summary of training data, highlighting biases, limitations, etc. - Train policy p0 on this initial data, run evaluation episodes - Ask Gemini to categorize successes vs. failures (more insightful than you'd expect) - Based on both analyses, Gemini generates specific augmentation recommendations What's interesting here isn't that we're using LLMs for robotics - it's that we're closing the loop between perception, failure analysis, and targeted data generation. Component II: Data Generation with Scene Consistency The tricky part was maintaining consistency across both camera perspectives while generating new data. Three current augmentations: - Frame flipping and polarity reversals - Grounded-SAM + OpenCV for object color manipulation - Gemini to identify empty space and generate distractions in the scene …and repeat, ha! I'm using the so100 robot arm and Sarah’s Vintage from Hugging Face. And the APIs and models in Gemini family are Ace! Thank you Logan Kilpatrick Patrick Loeber and team for this.

S&P Global Ratings, the world’s leading provider of credit ratings, benchmarks, and analytics referenced by 95% of the top 20 global institutional investors, has partnered with Chainlink to publish its Stablecoin Stability Assessments (SSAs) onchain for the first time through DataLink. Through this partnership, more than 2,400 institutions, protocols, and developers in the Chainlink ecosystem can now directly access these assessments across 40+ public and private blockchains. This milestone marks a major leap forward in the capital markets’ adoption of tokenized finance. As S&P Global increasingly moves onchain, the company brings with it: • Over 1 million credit ratings outstanding • 1,500+ credit analysts across 150+ countries • Ratings coverage for ~1 million securities • 4,600+ corporates rated globally The stablecoin market now exceeds $300 billion, nearly doubling from a year prior. With the passage of the GENIUS Act, the first U.S. federal regulatory framework for stablecoins, these digital assets are now positioned as core financial infrastructure for global payments, trade, and settlement. However, institutions seeking to integrate stablecoins require transparent, standardized, and verifiable onchain risk insights to do so responsibly. S&P Global Ratings’ SSAs fill that gap. These assessments evaluate a stablecoin’s ability to maintain parity with fiat currencies, scored from 1 (very strong) to 5 (weak), based on asset quality, governance, liquidity, redemption mechanisms, and track record. Chainlink infrastructure, which actively secures nearly $100 billion in DeFi TVL and has enabled more than $25 trillion in onchain transaction value, ensures these assessments are delivered with industry-standard reliability, security, and data integrity. This partnership signals the beginning of a new era in financial markets, where real-time, institutionally validated risk data becomes the foundational layer of onchain finance. Learn more:

Human Rights Alert: Escalating Targeted Violence Against #Somaliland Civilians in Mogadishu #Somaliland Human Rights Defenders express grave concern over the escalating attacks targeting civilians originally from Somaliland—particularly members of the Isaaq community—residing in Mogadishu. In recent days, families of #Somaliland origin living in the capital have been assaulted inside their homes by armed groups wielding knives, axes, stones, and metal objects. These attacks appear organized and deliberate, aimed at inflicting harm on #Somaliland civilians solely on the basis of their identity. A videos recorded bystanders in Mogadishu, showing violent assaults against #Somaliland residents, has circulated widely on social media, further heightening fear among affected communities. This surge in violence began shortly after #Somaliland received international recognition, a development that has triggered inflammatory rhetoric from certain leaders within the Federal Government of #Somalia. Instead of promoting calm, these officials alongside some religious figures and segments of the Mogadishu public, have disseminated hate‑filled messages that dehumanize Somaliland civilians, justify violence against them, and frame them as legitimate targets for “jihad.” Such rhetoric has directly contributed to the mobilization of groups now committing communal attacks. #Somaliland Human Rights Defenders are deeply alarmed by this pattern of incitement and by the failure of federal authorities to protect vulnerable civilians. The deliberate spread of hate speech by influential figures constitutes a serious violation of international human‑rights norms and risks fueling further communal violence. This violence is part of a long and troubling pattern. In July 1998, fifty‑one #Somaliland‑origin businessmen, intellectuals, and university students were massacred at Jasiira Beach in Mogadishu by former Somali military officials linked to the family of Dictator Mohamed Siyad Barre. More recently, in February 2024, a Somaliland civil aviation official, Abdinasir Muse Dahable, was killed in his home in the Wadajir district of Mogadishu. According to medical investigation teams, his death resulted from torture. These incidents form part of a recurring wave of communal violence targeting Isaaq civilians in Mogadishu. We urgently call upon: - The United States and United Kingdom embassies, - United Nations offices in the Halane compound, and - The wider international community to publicly condemn the ongoing abuses and communal violence directed at Somaliland‑origin civilians in Mogadishu and across Somalia. We further urge international partners to press the Federal Government of Somalia to take immediate, concrete measures to restrain mobilized groups, prevent further attacks, and ensure the safety and protection of all civilians regardless of origin. Failure to act risks allowing this violence—sparked by political developments and inflamed by official rhetoric—to escalate into broader communal conflict. In light of the urgent protection needs of those affected, Somaliland Human Rights Defenders also call upon the Government of Somaliland to coordinate closely with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) to facilitate immediate assistance for victims of the Mogadishu communal violence. The majority of these civilians have expressed a clear willingness to relocate to Somaliland for safety. Effective collaboration with these humanitarian agencies is essential to ensure safe passage, emergency support, and dignified reception for all displaced #Somaliland‑origin families seeking protection.

First of all, before anything else congratulations to our stars 🥰 What happened at Paris Fashion Week FW26 is HUGE, and there is nothing more to say except that we are incredibly proud. According to the SOV analysis from Onclusive, Lingling Kwong ranked #1 with 31.8% Share of Voice, and Orm Kornnaphat ranked #2 with 24.6% among 234 global celebrities tracked. "This means the two most talked-about personalities of the entire fashion week were both Thai actresses attending the Dior show" Even more importantly, the data shows something bigger: Their combined presence generated more than 56% of the celebrity conversation around Christian Dior. It is important to clarify something here: This result is based on SOV (Share of Voice) calculated by Onclusive. SOV is different from MIV and EMV, and it is also different from the SOV metrics used inside some MIV based reports. - SOV measures conversation dominance how much people talk about someone. - MIV/EMV measure the media value of exposure. So the methodology is not the same. And here We Go : 1) About the map shown in the article Under the visualization, the article clearly states: “The map of social media influence around the Dior brand: fan groups rallying around ambassadors, faces and attendees such as Lingling Kwong, Orm Kornnaphat, Jisoo (Blackpink), Anya Taylor-Joy, and Hyunjin (Stray Kids).” What does that mean? The map shows how fan communities and media conversations connected around Dior during Paris Fashion Week. Some accounts appear closer to Lingling Kwong or Orm Kornnaphat? yes and No ... The map is not centered on Lingling or Orm. It is centered on Dior. (Of course Dior isn’t connected to Lingling alone. You can clearly see that the Dior account is positioned around Lingling icon it's mean under Lingling kwong posts or under Dior Post fans position dior a more than under Orm posts and position lingling and dior more ) As for Tagtrend and LingormBh AND lingling Th or orm cn or orm th here they are not mean are around Lingling kwong or orm kornnaphat here they are around diorr !!!! Another proof , Under OrmKornnaphatCN, you can see something like: Influence degree: 456 This means that this account had 456 connection links in the conversation network around Dior during Paris Fashion Week FW26. These links can come from: people reposting its posts people mentioning that account the account mentioning others reply conversations posts being quoted or shared So the system detected 456 interaction connections linked to that account within the conversation network used in the analysis. This does not mean these interactions are about Orm alone. They are connections inside the discussion network related to Dior during Paris Fashion Week where Orm Kornnaphat appears in the conversation. It also does not mean that Orm CN or any other official fan page did not work hard. The map here is simply showing how conversations connect around Dior, not measuring how much each fanbase supports their star. The visualization is not centered on Lingling or Orm individually. It is centered on Dior, showing how different fan communities and media conversations interacted around the brand during Paris Fashion Week FW26. You can clearly see that even smaller accounts with relatively few followers appear in the map. Why? Because they replied, quoted, reposted, or participated in conversations related to Dior, which creates connections inside the network. OR even ch3 they only post one image saying congratulation for dior and lingorm The visualization simply shows how different communities amplified the Dior discussion through the celebrities attending the show 2) Now About hashtags and SOV The article clearly states: “Hashtags represent only a portion of the data used in calculating SOV.” It also explains that the top-25 hashtag chart shown in the article is only an extract from 281 hashtags analyzed during Paris Fashion Week. So hashtags are not the main calculation method for SOV. SOV is based on mentions across the entire media ecosystem. For example, imagine the system tracked 10,000 total celebrity mentions during Paris Fashion Week FW26. If Lingling Kwong was mentioned 3,180 times: 3180 ÷ 10000 × 100 = 31.8% SOV If Orm Kornnaphat was mentioned 2,460 times: 2460 ÷ 10000 × 100 = 24.6% SOV Mentions counted in SOV include: Social media posts X (Twitter) with full Firehose access ( Very Important) Instagram TikTok YouTube Reddit Weibo WeChat Naver Online forums and magazines blog posts captions and text mentions (not only hashtags) For example, all of these count as mentions: Post 1 #LinglingKwong at Dior FW26 Post 2 Orm kornnaphat at the Dior show today (no hashtag) Post 3 ( mentions) @ lingling kwong and @ ormkornnaphat looked stunning at Dior All three contribute to the conversation around Christian Dior at Paris Fashion Week. This is why the article states clearly that hashtags represent only part of the data used in calculating SOV. so if you use #diorxCelebrity or #celebrity is ranking under one SOV for this celebrity but in this article they are talking about brand x celebrity # and how much is important now to include celebrity name to make the brand more stronger ( this is the main idea ) The most important point Instead of worrying about differences between charts, we should step back and look at the bigger picture. Two Thai actresses attended one show at Paris Fashion Week and they became the two most talked-about celebrities of the entire event. That is extraordinary. And it proves something very clearly: The global fashion conversation now recognizes the power of Lingling Kwong and Orm Kornnaphat, and the incredible strength of their fan communities. 3) Now the focus moves to MIV We still have a few days, and now that these results are public, more media outlets and magazines will continue to write about them. So our focus now should be MIV, which measures the media impact value of posts and coverage. For MIV: Engagement under posts matters Likes and Comments are important interactions under magazine posts are important conversations across platforms contribute to impact. On X, hashtags help grouping and tracking. On Instagram and TikTok, keywords and names inside captions and comments are also very important. On weibo keyword are the most important So let’s work smart and strategically. Because this is only the beginning of proving to the world the power of our stars: Lingling Kwong and Orm Kornnaphat. ✨ LINGORM BA DIOR AT PFW26 #LingOrmDiorAW26 #หลิงออม #LingOrm #หลิงหลิงคอง #LinglingKwong #ออมกรณ์นภัส #OrmKornnaphat #DiorAW26 #DIOR
