Today we’re open-sourcing a preview of our two new models in the Isaac family: hybrid-reasoning 2B and 1B-parameter best-in-class vision-language models. Weights → https://t.co/1WgHMDfCST Blog → https://t.co/8MOLPKpUhO Demo → https://t.co/sAKt5dnZ6U

Perceptron’s platform is here — built for Physical AI Developers can now use Isaac-0.1 or Qwen3VL 235B via: Perceptron API — fast, reliable multimodal intelligence Python SDK — simple, grounded prompting for vision + language Build apps that see and understand the world.

Today we’re releasing the technical details behind Isaac 0.1. We built Isaac to demonstrate that with the right principles, a simple recipe can reach competitive performance with a small model. Check out the report at: https://t.co/Y1Ys2NHswX

Designing multimodal systems is challenging. To build with the community we’re sharing the design behind TensorStream - a convenient tensor-like interface for interleaved multimodal data. Internally our training and inference code is built on top of this.

@perceptroninc This screenshot shows the detection bounding box a bit better.

Super excited to share what we've been up to at @perceptroninc Today we've released Isaac 0.1 — our first perceptive-language model: 2B params, but highly capable. Check it out: https://t.co/ohlQOUwxm3

1/ Introducing Isaac 0.1 — our first perceptive-language model. 2B params, open weights. Matches or beats models significantly larger on core perception. We are pushing the efficient frontier for physical AI. https://t.co/dJ1Wjh2ARK

Highly recommend the https://t.co/bdkVi6pbc3 weekly summary to keep up with the field of ML. They're using AI to identify the top publications and breakthroughs, it's a game-changer.

Honored that our 12-year-old work at Microsoft on incorporating user behavior signals into ranking (with Susan Dumais and Eric Brill) was recognized with SIGIR ToT award. Also, happy to see that 12 years later there is still lots of room for improvement :-)

Ahmed Hassan Awadallah and I have one open research internship position this summer. If you're interested, please let us know and kindly share your CV!

Finally managed to quit vim.

I am humbled to receive an award named in honor of Karen Spärck Jones, whose contributions continue to be relevant to information retrieval researchers and engineers.

Congrats to Dr. Denis Savenkov @DenXX on defending PhD on Question Answering w User Generated Content! He will join FB as research scientist

Wow, wow, wow, now we can add and subtract drawing sketches

Suck at drawing? Just sketch and Google will try to guess what you meant:

Google released a sequence-to-sequence neural network library on top of tensorflow:

So, the Nike Breaking 2-hour marathon attempt will like happen in early May:
