OpenBMB Releases MiniCPM5-2B: A 2.52B Dense Model Averaging 53.9 Across 34 Benchmarks and Built to Run On Device

OpenBMB has released MiniCPM5-2B, the second checkpoint in the MiniCPM5 series and the follow-up to MiniCPM5-1B. It is a dense […]

Robot manipulation datasets have grown far slower than the models trained on them, mostly because collection stays closed and centralized. […]

Most open model launches release one checkpoint and a benchmark table. The Institute of Foundation Models (IFM) released something wider […]

Most visual document retrievers in production today are hand-me-downs. ColPali and the models that followed it take a generative vision-language […]

AI research agents can already propose, implement and score their own machine learning experiments. Idea generation is cheap; verification is […]

A team of researchers from UC Berkeley have released CUA-Lite, an open platform for computer-use agents (CUAs). The argument behind […]

Video has been the most expensive modality to reason over. A Gemini model handed a 90-minute lecture has, until now, […]

Multi-agent workflows have changed the shape of local inference. A lead agent decomposes a task and spawns subagents. What looked […]

AI weather models have spent three years closing the gap with physics-based forecasting, but two problems stayed open: resolution too […]

Today, OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra. The company calls it its most intelligent and aligned model, and positions it primarily as […]
