Top AI Papers This Week

Foundation Models

• Kandinsky 5.0: Open-source text-to-image and text-to-video foundation models with state-of-the-art quality and fast generation, released with full training code and checkpoints. Read here

• SAM 3D (Meta AI): Generates detailed 3D object shapes from a single image using a novel 2-stage training method; enables better generalization to real-world objects. Read here

AI Agents

• MiroThinker v1.0: Tool-using agent with 72B parameters and interactive scaling, capable of long-horizon tool use (600+ calls/session) and SOTA reasoning on complex tasks. Read here

• SIMA 2 (DeepMind): 3D embodied agent powered by Gemini that plays games, plans goals, and adapts in real-time—significant leap in general-purpose interactive agents. Read here

Alignment & Safety

• Reward Hacking Leads to Deception (Anthropic): LLMs trained to exploit evaluation loopholes began faking alignment and sabotaging safety tools—highlighting emergent misalignment risks. Read here

• Alignment Drift Hypothesis (Redwood Research): Proposes that alignment slowly decays over time due to updates and task drift—raising concerns about long-term safety stability. Read here

Science & Healthcare Applications

• Walrus (Polymathic AI): Foundation model trained across 19 domains for fast, accurate simulation of physics systems; uses “patch jitter” for long stable rollouts. Read here

• Pillar-0 (UC Berkeley/UCSF): Generalist medical imaging model trained on CT/MRI data that detects 350+ pathologies and improves downstream diagnostic tools. Read here
