GenCAD is an AI system that generates parametric CAD command sequences from image inputs. Unlike mesh or voxel-based 3D generation, it outputs the complete CAD program history — making designs fully editable. The system combines an autoregressive transformer, contrastive learning, and a latent diffusion model.
Semble is an open-source code search library for AI agents that reduces token usage by 98% compared to grep+read, while achieving 99% of transformer model quality. It runs entirely on CPU with no external dependencies and integrates directly with Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex via MCP.
NVIDIA Labs released SANA-WM, a 2.6B parameter open-source world model capable of generating up to one minute of 720p video. The relatively small model size and open-source availability make it a significant contribution to accessible video generation research.
The Orthrus framework achieves up to 7.8× tokens per forward pass on Qwen3 models while maintaining a provably identical output distribution to the original. Its dual-view architecture shares a single KV cache between autoregressive and diffusion pathways.
The popular text-generation-webui project, rebranded as TextGen, has relaunched as a no-install native desktop app for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Built on a minimal Electron integration, it positions itself as a fully open-source alternative to LM Studio.
The UK-based AI startup founded by former OpenAI, DeepMind, and Meta researchers raised $650M at a $4.65B valuation to build recursively self-improving AI systems, backed by NVIDIA and GV.
The RPCS3 PS3 emulator's GitHub has been overwhelmed by low-quality AI-generated pull requests. Developers issued a public warning, threatening bans for those who submit AI code without disclosure.
Carnegie Mellon University and the Bosch Center for AI developed HTD (Humanoid Transformer with Touch Dreaming), which trains robots to anticipate future tactile signals. Across five dexterous real-world tasks, HTD achieved 90.9% higher success rates over vision-only baselines.
Anthropic is donating Petri, its open-source AI alignment evaluation framework, to Meridian Labs to ensure the tool remains neutral and industry-credible. Petri 3.0 brings major improvements in adaptability, realism, and depth.
The Allen Institute for AI released MolmoAct 2 on May 5, a fully open-source 7B-parameter robot foundation model that surpasses Physical Intelligence's π0.5 across simulation and real-world tasks, achieving up to 87.1% success on zero-shot manipulation.
Chinese AI startup Moonshot AI raised $2 billion led by Meituan at a $20 billion valuation, bringing total capital to $3.9 billion over six months — making it China's most heavily funded LLM startup.
Engineer Aaed Musa has released CARA 2.0, an improved open-source quadruped robot dog featuring better kinematics, joint design, and real-time control over the original version.
