  1. Open source

    Runway opens the weights of Praxis-1, a robot model that predicts video and movements together (opens the original source in a new tab)

    Runway says the 27-billion-parameter model, plus its code for running and fine-tuning it, is free to use under the Apache 2.0 licence, even commercially. Partners already run it on a humanoid and a warehouse robot.

  3. Research

    MIT researchers find a way to build climate emulators, fast AI climate simulators, from far less data (opens the original source in a new tab)

    Emulators run in seconds, so scientists can test thousands of scenarios. Trained on a small set of carefully chosen synthetic data, the new ones predicted scenarios they had not seen, where older ones failed.

    A developer's AI agents spotted a Maya site in NASA lidar data that Mexico's official register did not list (opens the original source in a new tab)

    Lidar maps the ground by firing laser pulses through gaps in the trees. The author later learned researchers had already mapped the site, so the agents rediscovered it.
