Meet Figure 02: The Outcome of OpenAI, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Jeff Bezos’s private funds’ Collaboration and Development of Figure AI


Meet Figure 02

Figure 02, the humanoid robotic Model developed by Figure AI and backed by major investors like Jeff Bezos and OpenAI, Nvidia, and Microsoft.

This innovative humanoid robot is designed for manufacturing, logistics, warehouse, and home chores. Where the standing of the Figure 02 robotic model is 5’6″ along with 154 pounds in weight and has the features of advanced AI, computer vision, and 16 degrees of freedom in its hands that enable it to perform complex tasks autonomously. 

Figure 02 has been tested at BMW’s Spartanburg plant where it has successfully handled precise operations like fitting sheet metal into car chassis. Figure 02, equipped with a 50% larger battery capacity and improved functionality, is ready to take on hazardous tasks and transform industries by filling labor shortages.

VFusion3D: Developing Scalable 3D Generative Models Using Video Diffusion Models


VFusion3D

Meet VFusion3D, an advanced 3D generative model developed by researchers from GenAI, Meta, and the University of Oxford.

The one which has been designed to scale 3D generative and reconstruction models by training with minimal 3D data and extensive synthetic multi-view data. This model marks a significant step towards creating a 3D foundation. 

VFusion3D offers versatile outputs that include 3D planes, meshes, and videos, to which you can customize to easily. The model was presented at the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) 2024, with demo access available on Hugging Face that enable users to explore its capabilities with minimal setup.

Meet Falcon LLM: The Next-Gen AI from Mamba 7B to 180B


Falcon LLM

Falcon LLM offers a suite of advanced AI models that include Falcon Mamba 7B, Falcon 2, Falcon 7B, Falcon 40B, and Falcon 180B, where each of these has been designed to push the boundaries of AI capabilities. 

Falcon Mamba 7B is the top-performing open-source State Space Language Model (SSLM) that carry a very low memory cost and include outperforming models like Meta’s LLaMA 3. Not only to this, Falcon 2 have incredible features and functionalities such as multilingual feature, multimodal capabilities, and more that it can utilize even while Falcon work on 40B, trained on one trillion tokens and democratizes AI. 

Falcon 180B work in 180 billion parameters that excels in various tasks and rivals top AI models. However, the undesirable thing here is that you can utilize the power of this model only under specific terms and conditions.

Meet Grok-2— A Leap of xAI to Challenge Artificial Intelligence System


Meet Grok-2

Meet Grok-2 an advanced AI model launched by xAI that allow you to enhanced your chat, coding, and reasoning capabilities, and surpass previous models like Grok-1.5. 

Grok-2 and its smaller version, Grok-2 mini, are currently available in beta on X and will be available through xAI’s enterprise API later maybe this month. Grok-2 outperforms models such as Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet and OpenAI’s GPT-4-Turbo in early tests. 

It excels in vision-based tasks and has shown improvements in reasoning and tool use. xAI plans to integrate multimodal understanding and expand Grok’s capabilities with new collaborations and a robust enterprise API.
