It was awesome presenting two of our papers today at #ECCV
- GenRA: End-to-end Framework for LLM-Driven Animation of Rigged 3D Models - research.macpaw.com/publicat…
- Rigid 3D Object Alignment: Optimization vs. Feed-Forward Prediction - research.macpaw.com/publicat…
So many new ideas on applications in robotics, realistic 3d scene generation, sign language and of course usage with GPT-6 Astra ✨
If you want to catch us live - see you tomorrow on Wild3D poster session at 14:50!

#ECCV2026
Work: how to align and animate objects? Predict USDZ, not regress pixels.
This week we are at @eccvconf in Malmö 🇸🇪
Catch us at the poster sessions of OpenSUN3D on Tuesday, September 8th, and Wild3D on Wednesday, September 9th!

Our AI&Research team ran its own summer school — 35 people, 16 speakers (90% in-house), 3 tracks, one week offline.
We also welcomed two external speakers: @maximelabonne, Head of Post-Training at @liquidai, our model partner, on how Liquid designs edge models, and Solomiia Leno, Senior Data Scientist at @SoftServeInc, on LLM interpretability.
Your Mac can run a 26B diffusion LLM now📷
We just added DiffusionGemma 26B-A4B to Fast-dLLM-mlx, our open-source MLX inference framework for diffusion LLMs on Apple Silicon. Inference is ~30% faster than mlx-vlm 0.6.4 on M4 Pro, and the speedup is training-free (dual cache + parallel decoding with probability thresholding).

Next week we are in Bremen at @ACM_CUI!
Find our Anastasiia Satarenko, Senior Design Researcher, presenting her work at one at the poster sessions and in any case check out the preprint 👇

MacPaw Research organised a meetup for Ukrainian researchers at ICML 2026 in Seoul. Different backgrounds, one table: from a full paper accepted during a bachelor's to researchers leading large student cohorts and conferences.
The Ukrainian research community is spread across the world, and bringing it together matters!
Let’s make this a tradition on all top-tier conferences.
macOS is harder for AI agents than most benchmarks suggest — a leading model trails by over 26% on macOS-native tasks.
MacArena is how we measured that. The benchmark was accepted to two workshops at ICML 2026 in Seoul, and the team will be there July 10–11.

MacPaw sponsored the prize pool at UNLP Shared Task 2026 — a Ukrainian NLP competition held May 29–30 in Lviv.
This year @UNLP_conference ran as a standalone international conference for the first time, after four years as an ACL workshop. It's part of our ongoing partnership with NaUKMA and our commitment to supporting AI research.

#UNLPConference #UNLPWorkshop
Lviv, you delivered. MacPaw Research team wrapped up a few days of the kind of conversations that only work in person — now we're back home with a lot to think about.
Until next year 💚 #UNLPconference #UNLPworkshop
We're growing the team.

MacPaw Research is presenting GUIrilla at the DATA-FM workshop at ICLR 2026 — a scalable framework for automated macOS GUI exploration.
It tackles the shortage of quality desktop interaction data and ships with accessibility metadata — MacApp Trees — and an open-source library for the research community.
