Meta FAIR has announced the release of several new research artifacts aimed at advancing machine intelligence. Key innovations include Meta Motivo, a foundation model for controlling virtual agents, and Meta Video Seal, an open-source model for video watermarking. These releases are part of Meta's commitment to democratizing access to cutting-edge technologies and fostering collaboration within the research community. Meta Motivo utilizes unsupervised reinforcement learning to enable humanoid agents to perform complex tasks with human-like behaviors, demonstrating robustness to environmental changes. Meta Video Seal provides a framework for embedding imperceptible watermarks in videos, enhancing content traceability and security against manipulation. Additionally, Meta introduced Flow Matching, a generative AI framework that improves performance across various modalities, and the Large Concept Model (LCM), which decouples reasoning from language representation for better hierarchical thinking. Other notable releases include the Dynamic Byte Latent Transformer for tokenizer-free processing, Memory Layers for improved factuality in language models, and an evaluation toolbox for text-to-image generative models. These initiatives reflect Meta's ongoing efforts to promote responsible AI development and encourage community engagement in advancing AI technologies.

15 commentsHere they are presented as separate things, each of which apparently improves quality / efficiency. I wonder what the quality / efficiency increase is of all those methods put together? Maybe that’s what Llama 4 will be?
This looks like a lot of innovation is happening at Meta in those areas, really cool!

Then the "Meta Explore Theory of Mind" is even more interesting. There was a thread about a month ago in which some of us were discussing some of the concepts here like "beliefs" and updating a model of the world accordingly. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42035985
Interesting that it's a a hierarchical structure but only two levels of hierarchy. Stacking more levels seems like an obvious direction for further research.
He's recorded the full talk here now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5l5OvJ01ws
I had missed how much Meta have been doing on reasoning, ToM etc.
My initial thought is that they want to please/distract the doomers, but I’m prolly just self-centered!
Yet again interesting progress.
Also I like the idea of using the pose model to generate not a NPC but a avatar living in my phone or glas cube as a hologram. That would be quite scifi futuristic
