Google DeepMind Unveils Gemini Robotics AI Models That Can Control Robots in the Real World

Published by Webster

Google DeepMind unveiled two new artificial intelligence (AI) models on Thursday, which can control robots to make them perform a wide range of tasks in real-world environments. Dubbed Gemini Robotics and Gemini Robotics-ER (embodied reasoning), these are advanced vision language models capable of displaying spatial intelligence and performing actions. The Mountain View-based tech giant also revealed that it is partnering with Apptronik to build Gemini 2.0-powered humanoid robots. The company is also testing these models to evaluate them further, and understand how to make them better. Google DeepMind Unveils Gemini Robotics AI Models In a blog post, DeepMind detailed the new AI models for robots. Carolina Parada, the Senior Director and Head of Robotics at Google DeepMind, said that for AI to be helpful to people in the physical world, they would have to demonstrate “embodied” reasoning — the ability to interact and understand the physical world and perform actions to complete tasks. Gemini Robotics, the first of the two AI models, is an advanced vision-language-action (VLA) model which was built using the Gemini 2.0 …

Alibaba’s Qwen Team Releases QwQ-32B Open-Source Reasoning Model, Said to Perform Similar to DeepSeek-R1

Published by Webster

Alibaba’s Qwen Team, a division tasked with developing artificial intelligence (AI) models, released the QwQ-32B AI model on Wednesday. It is a reasoning model based on extended test time compute with visible chain-of-thought (CoT). The developers claim that despite being smaller in size compared to the DeepSeek-R1, the model can match its performance based on benchmark scores. Like other AI models released by the Qwen Team, the QwQ-32B is also an open-source AI model, however, it is not fully open-sourced. QwQ-32B Reasoning AI Model Released In a blog post, Alibaba’s Qwen Team detailed the QwQ-32B reasoning model. QwQ (short for Qwen with Questions) series AI models were first introduced by the company in November 2024. These reasoning models were designed to offer an open-source alternative for the likes of OpenAI’s o1 series. The QwQ-32B is a 32 billion parameter model developed by scaling reinforcement learning (RL) techniques. Explaining the training process, the developers said that the RL scaling approach was added to a cold-start checkpoint. Initially, RL was used only for coding and mathematics-related tasks, …

Researchers Create a Low-Cost Open-Source AI Model to Analyse How OpenAI’s o1 Reasons

Researchers Create a Low-Cost Open-Source AI Model to Analyse How OpenAI’s o1 Reasons

Published by Webster

Researchers from Stanford University and Washington University have developed an open-source artificial intelligence (AI) model that is comparable in performance to OpenAI’s o1 model. The main objective of the researchers was not to create a powerful reasoning-focused model but to understand how the San Francisco-based AI firm instructed its o1 series models to perform test time scaling. Notably, the researchers were able to showcase the methodology and replicate the model’s behaviour at an extremely low cost while using far fewer compute resources. Researchers Develop S1-32B AI Model The researchers detailed the methodology and process of developing the model in a study published in the pre-print journal arXiv. The process involved creating a synthetic dataset from a different AI model and using several new techniques such as ablation and supervised fine-tuning (SFT). The model is available in a GitHub listing. It should be noted that the AI model was not built from scratch. The developers used the Qwen2.5-32B-Instruct and distilled it to create the s1-32B large language model (LLM). Released in September 2024, the model is …

The AI model is available under the Apache 2.0 licence for academic and commercial usage. Mistral highlighted that it is moving away from the Mistral Research Licence (MRL) model that only allows academic and research-related usage. The company stated that the …

OpenAI’s o3 Model Claims Human-Level Intelligence on Benchmark, But It Might Not Be That Smart

OpenAI’s o3 Model Claims Human-Level Intelligence on Benchmark, But It Might Not Be That Smart

Published by Webster

OpenAI unveiled the reasoning-focused o3 series of artificial intelligence (AI) models last month. During a live stream, the company shared the benchmark scores of the model based on internal testing. While all of the shared scores were impressive and highlighted the improved capabilities of the successor to o1, one benchmark score stood out. On the ARC-AGI benchmark, the large language model (LLM) scored 85 percent, beating the previous best score by a 30 percent margin. Interestingly, this score is also on par with what an average human scored on the test. OpenAI Scores 85 Percent on ARC-AGI Benchmark However, just because o3 scored such a high score on the test, does it mean its intelligence is equal to that of an average human? This would be easier to answer if the AI model was released in the public domain and we could test it out. Since OpenAI has not disclosed anything about the model’s architecture, training techniques, or datasets, it is difficult to conclusively claim anything. There are certain things that we do know about the …
