EvoVLA: Self-Evolving Vision-Language-Action Model

PowerToys 0.96 introduces an upgraded Advanced Paste feature with a redesigned user interface and support for various AI endpoints, including Azure, OpenAI, Gemini, Mistral, and local models like Foundry Local and Ollama. The update also enhances the Command Palette and PowerRename tools.

Google has introduced a new feature in its Gemini platform that allows users to determine whether an image is AI-generated. This tool addresses the growing need for clarity in a landscape increasingly filled with AI-created content.

VLA-Pruner is a proposed method aimed at enhancing the efficiency of Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models by implementing temporal-aware dual-level visual token pruning. This approach addresses the high computational costs associated with processing continuous visual streams, which limits real-time deployment. By focusing on both high-level semantic understanding and low-level action execution, VLA-Pruner seeks to improve the performance of VLA models significantly.

The study introduces the Large Shape and Textures dataset (LAS&T), a comprehensive collection of diverse shapes and textures extracted from natural images. This dataset is utilized to evaluate the performance of leading Large Vision-Language Models (VLMs) in recognizing and representing shapes and textures in various contexts. Results indicate that VLMs still lag behind human capabilities in shape recognition, particularly when variations in orientation, texture, and color are present.

Gemini, Google's AI model, has been integrated into Android Auto, enhancing the platform's capabilities. This integration allows users to leverage Gemini's features while driving, improving the overall user experience in vehicles equipped with Android Auto. The announcement was made by Engadget.

Gemini, Google's new AI model, is being rolled out globally to Android Auto, replacing Google Assistant. This integration allows drivers to create playlists, access emails, and learn about their surroundings using voice commands.

Google has made advanced features of its Gemini AI model available for free to all Gmail users through Google Vids. Previously, these features were exclusive to paid subscribers, enhancing accessibility for a wider audience.

Google has announced that its Gemini app can now detect images created or edited by its AI technologies. The company also plans to introduce verification features for video and audio content in the near future. This development aims to enhance the app's capabilities in identifying AI-generated media.
