HuggingFace Pi0 Makes Robotics Fluent in Human Language
Hugging Face and Physical Intelligence just dropped Pi0, an open-source robotics model that cuts out the coding middleman. Robots can now execute complex tasks—folding laundry, bussing tables, packing groceries—straight from natural language commands. Trained across seven robotic platforms and 68 task domains, Pi0 wields flow matching to generate real-time motion trajectories at 50Hz, making movements seamless and adaptable.
A faster variant, Pi0-FAST, incorporates frequency-space motion sequence tokenization (FAST), accelerating training speeds fivefold. The model’s open-source release lowers barriers to robotic automation, allowing enterprises to fine-tune policies for diverse applications. While promising, Pi0 faces hurdles in computational efficiency and execution reliability. Available on HuggingFace. Read more.
Google launches Gemini 2.0 Pro, Flash-Lite and connects reasoning model Flash Pondering to YouTube, Maps and Search
Google has dropped Gemini 2.0 Flash into general availability, pushed the ultra-cost-efficient Flash-Lite into public preview, and rolled out an experimental Gemini 2.0 Pro. Designed for enterprise-scale efficiency, these models supercharge multimodal processing across Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. Flash-Lite, the leanest model yet, outperforms Gemini 1.5 Flash on MMLU Pro (77.6% vs. 67.3%) and Bird SQL (57.4% vs. 45.6%) while holding firm on a 1-million-token context window—4 times the industry standard. Gemini 2.0 Flash goes head-to-head with OpenAI’s o3-mini, maximizing efficiency without slashing capability.
Google has also embedded its Gemini 2.0 Flash Pondering model into Maps, YouTube, and Search, injecting AI-driven reasoning straight into its ecosystem. Meanwhile, Gemini 2.0 Pro—armed with a 2-million-token context window—levels up tool use, reasoning, and code execution. Read more.
OpenAI teases deeper transparency while expanding ChatGPT’s memory
OpenAI has updated the Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning in its O3-Mini models, making it more transparent for each free and paid users. The refinement extends to O3-Mini-High for paid users. Nonetheless, OpenAI has clarified that these are usually not the raw CoT outputs, suggesting that while the update offers greater visibility, it stops in need of full disclosure.
