XTLS-Reality, XHTTP, Naiveproxy и всякие там AnyTLS - это не интересно. Давайте копнем чуть глубже и посмотрим, где прячется настоящее безумие.

Продолжение истории. Во второй части речь пойдет про поиск пути к своему симулятору: затронем мультиагентные системы "прошлого" (MAS), акторную модель (actor model), современную игровую архитектуру ECS и Data-Oriented Design.

Все это с историческими отсылками к Хьюитту, Армстронгу и Эктону. Читать далее Read more ›

TL;DR. Мы выкатили открытый бенчмарк MELT-1 — он меряет не сколько модель знает в идеальных условиях (MMLU & co), а сколько она проживёт под дрифтом распределения и сколько стоит держать её живой. Три оси: $/1M успешных решений, часы до деградации без ретрейна, p99-латентность сенсор→актуатор под 40 °C. 30 суток непрерывного инференса, 5 сидов, два температурных профиля, sensitivity-анализ.

Привет, Хабр! Сегодня поговорим о том, как роботы работают с предметами в реальной жизни. Современные роботы умеют выполнять множество простых операций, но терпят катастрофический провал в задачах, требующих понимания трехмерных пространственных отношений и физической осуществимости действий. Попробуем разобраться, как с помощью vision-language models (VLM) роботы учатся работать с предметами в пространстве. Читать далее Read more ›
