Datasets you need to build an AI JARVIS — Meta dropped 500 hours of 3D motion data spanning everything from individual gestures to multi-person conversations and co-living scenarios, complete with motion tracking, annotations, and audio tracks. https://x.com/bilawalsidhu/status/1980719297669525925

Today Meta announced torchforge, a brand-new PyTorch-native library that makes it easy to use reinforcement learning (RL) to train AI agents. Forge provides high-performance building blocks and ready-to-use examples, so you can focus on what’s novel about your use case rather https://x.com/PyTorch/status/1981035379126890748

Excited to release our new open-source collaboration with Meta: OpenEnv Pushing for better research/open-source usage practices on agents (LLM/VLM/code). We want to bring reproducible practices in frontier agentic research (like the recent Code World Model) with a”” / X https://x.com/Thom_Wolf/status/1981396028117901401

We’re one step closer to truly predictable reinforcement learning. @Meta’s ScaleRL brings the first solid framework to predict RL scaling in LLMs, estimating large-scale results from small runs. Their study also revealed that: • Not all RL setups scale the same way. • Tuning https://x.com/TheTuringPost/status/1981487666714800356

🧠 How can we equip LLMs with memory that allows them to continually learn new things? In our new paper with @AIatMeta, we show how sparsely finetuning memory layers enables targeted updates for continual learning, w/ minimal interference with existing knowledge.
