I have been cooking up a project over the last year and now it is finally ready:
Merge your creativity with AI and transform the world around you! ✨Transferscope is a handheld device that lets you capture any object or concept and blend it seamlessly onto any scene.
went on github.com/google-research/t… to try the link from the readme - Vertex Model Garden: Dockerized endpoint for agentic calling
Came accross this login page from corp.google.com 🤠

Big news 🌎🌍🌏: Earthling Maps v1 has launched! Read about it, give it a try, and reach out with any feedback. They're maps that aim to work well even when really small, with defaults to set the stage for great cartography regardless of map-making experience.
Earthling Maps is here! It's all about creating focused maps for articles, newsletters, social media, and presentations, to orient your audience. Learn more in the launch post:

Won the Vision & Multimodal AI track at the AMD x lablab.ai/ai-hackathons/amd-… hackathon in May, and kept building it since.
XIAO Field Copilot: photograph a @SeeedStudio XIAO board, ask a question, get an answer cited from the docs. Short thread on how it works.
Also moved the UI off Gradio to a small React/Vite workbench: chat on one side, a source panel that fills in as the answer streams on the other. You attach the board photo right in the composer — drag, paste, or pick a file. Plain /api/ask SSE; answers log to JSONL.
Stack: React/Vite, a streaming /api/ask, ROCm + vLLM on a DigitalOcean MI300X. Awesome Qwen Models. I will keep on building my electronics workbench.
Thanks @AMD and @lablabai for the GPU time. github.com/cpietsch/xiao-bud… #AMDDevHackathon

I'm long overdue for a social media update, so here it goes. I moved out of DC to the Hudson Valley and I've been freelancing, continuing to enjoy making graphics and tools, designing, coding, and a lot of mapping. I'm about 2 hours north of New York City

A powerful way to think about user interfaces is as them being bases of a latent space manifold. There is a nascent niche of interesting experiments exploring these and I will try to curate some of these that came into my notice in this thread.
What will happen when those diffusion models hit our phones and our personal photos are not genuine anymore? "make me look like last summer", "remove grandma from the picture" or "add person x to the group". Also: what crazy compression level will be achieved ?
unStable Mirror is currently on display at the @Kikk_Festival in Namur! come and have some fun with it :)

FLUX that Plays Music
paper page: huggingface.co/papers/2409.0…
This paper explores a simple extension of diffusion-based rectified flow Transformers for text-to-music generation, termed as FluxMusic. Generally, along with design in advanced Fluxhttps://github.com/black-forest-labs/flux model, we transfers it into a latent VAE space of mel-spectrum. It involves first applying a sequence of independent attention to the double text-music stream, followed by a stacked single music stream for denoised patch prediction. We employ multiple pre-trained text encoders to sufficiently capture caption semantic information as well as inference flexibility. In between, coarse textual information, in conjunction with time step embeddings, is utilized in a modulation mechanism, while fine-grained textual details are concatenated with the music patch sequence as inputs. Through an in-depth study, we demonstrate that rectified flow training with an optimized architecture significantly outperforms established diffusion methods for the text-to-music task, as evidenced by various automatic metrics and human preference evaluations.

Project #2: LLM Visualization
So I created a web-page to visualize a small LLM, of the sort that's behind ChatGPT. Rendered in 3D, it shows all the steps to run a single token inference. (link in bio)
