Meta reveals real-world robot brain?

🚨 Our Report

Meta has revealed a new (open-source) AI “world model” called V-JEPA 2 that can understand real-life physical movements, so V-JEPA 2-powered AI agents or robots can learn, plan, predict, and make decisions in a more human-like way, in the real world.

🔓 Key Points

V-JEPA 2 was trained on over 1M hours of video, images, and robot data, to help robots/AI agents understand ‘common sense’ connections (like how gravity impacts what happens next), kinda like babies do, as they develop.
The training data contains footage of people walking or hands moving so that (for example), V-JEPA 2 can recognize that a ball rolling on a table will fall, or know that when making a cake, the next stage is to add flour.
According to Meta, “machines understand the physical world differently from language,” so V-JEPA 2 uses a ‘self-learning’ method to learn, meaning it improves over time, without needing specific training for tasks.

🔐 Relevance

Meta believes V-JEPA 2 marks a “new era for robotics,” enabling “real-world AI agents to help with chores and physical tasks without needing astronomical amounts of training data,” and thinks it will transform things like delivery robots and self-driving cars. It comes after ‘Godmother of AI’, Fei-Fei Li raised $230M for her new start-up, World Labs, which aims to create “large world models” that understand the physical world, like we do, and the launch of Google's “world model,” Genie 2, which can reportedly simulate games and 3D environments in real time.

How this energy company halved unplanned downtime with AI

Energy firm Ørsted was struggling with unplanned downtime of its North Sea wind turbines and high maintenance costs.
Unplanned downtime and wind turbine maintenance typically cost operators around $38M p/y.
They input weather, vibration, and turbine sensor data into an AI-powered predictive maintenance platform and used ML to forecast failures.
As a result, they saw a 50% reduction in unplanned turbine downtime, which saved them around $23M p/y.

Disney and Universal have filed a copyright lawsuit against AI image generator platform, Midjourney, calling it a “bottomless pit of plagiarism” for generating copyrighted characters (like Shrek) without permission.
The case is about protecting “the hard work of all the artists” and the “significant” capital they’ve invested in content, and argues that whether an infringing image is made with AI or not, “doesn’t make it less infringing.”
Midjourney’s defense isn’t looking great: In an unearthed interview given in 2022, Midjourney founder, Dave Holz, admitted they don’t get consent before using copyrighted work, as there was “no registry” to enable it.

The Browser Company has stopped advancing its web browser Arc (it was too difficult to scale and reach a mass audience), to develop a new browser called Dia, which is 100% AI-focused and available in beta.
Dia—which is built on Chromium (a project backed by Google), so users will be familiar with the look/feel—has a built-in AI chatbot within the browser’s interface, removing the need to use other AI tools like ChatGPT.
It can search the web, summarize uploaded files, switch between chat and search functions, answer questions about open tabs, and change its tone and style of writing (based on user instructions).
