If video models scale like LLMs, they'll soon generate a perfect video plan for any embodied task. Do we need anything else? Introducing Mirror, which learns to follow these plans just by practicing, and even crafts an iron pickaxe in Minecraft w/o rewards or action labels! (1/n)

We discovered that our latest Dataset Distillation project can be used to create some beautiful synthetic images based on an artist's body of work! Come see us at the @eccvconf Art Gallery starting today! Explanation and some of my favorites in thread below: 1/ (Claude Monet)

Happy to finally share our latest work on Dataset Distillation! "Dataset Distillation for Pre-Trained Self-Supervised Vision Models," set to appear at #NeurIPS 2025! We learn 1 image per class to train linear heads for pre-trained models. linear-gradient-matching.git… 1/6

Now in Nature! 🚀 Our method learns a controllable 3D model of any robot from vision, enabling single-camera closed-loop control at test time! This includes robots previously uncontrollable, soft, and bio-inspired, potentially lowering the barrier of entry to automation! Paper: nature.com/articles/s41586-0… (1/n)

Introducing Diffusion Forcing, which unifies next-token prediction (eg LLMs) and full-seq. diffusion (eg SORA)! It offers improved performance & new sampling strategies in vision and robotics, such as stable, infinite video generation, better diffusion planning, and more! (1/8)

Introducing “FlowMap”, the first self-supervised, differentiable structure-from-motion method that is competitive with conventional SfM like Colmap! cameronosmith.github.io/flow… IMO this solves a major missing piece for internet-scale training of 3D Deep Learning methods. 1/n
