Over the past decade, a U.K.-based nuclear propulsion startup has been working behind the scenes to develop a fusion rocket that could cut flight time to Mars in half. This week, it unveiled the concept in a striking new video. The Sunbird Migratory Transfer Vehicle, designed by Pulsar Fusion, would be capable of reaching 329,000 miles per hour (over 529,000 kilometers per hour), the company claims. This would make it the fastest self-propelled object ever created, drastically reducing space tr

Gemini Diffusion. Another of the announcements from Google I/O yesterday was Gemini Diffusion, Google's first LLM to use diffusion (similar to image models like Imagen and Stable Diffusion) in place of transformers. Google describe it like this: Traditional autoregressive language models generate text one word – or token – at a time. This sequential process can be slow, and limit the quality and coherence of the output. Diffusion models work differently. Instead of predicting text directly, th

The artificial intelligence boom has sent energy demand soaring. Some of the supercomputers sucking up all that power are helping to find new energy sources. Fusion energy is the process of forcing two hydrogen atoms to combine and form one helium atom, which releases huge amounts of power. It uses a stellarator, a type of fusion reactor invented in the 1950's that produces heat. Until now, the technology was too difficult to deploy commercially. But this old concept has brand new potential.

Transformer-based large language models are relatively easy to understand. You break language down into a finite set of “tokens” (words or sub-word components), then train a neural network on millions of token sequences so it can predict the next token based on all the previous ones. Despite some clever tricks (mainly about how the model processes the previous tokens in the sequence), the core mechanism is relatively simple. It’s harder to build the same kind of intuition about diffusion models

The world’s only fusion experiment that actually gives back more energy than it takes in is now breaking its own records. According to TechCrunch, the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory recently pushed its fusion yield—first to 5.2 megajoules, and then to 8.6 megajoules—more than doubling the energy released in its historic shot in 2022. That original breakthrough was the first time scientists had ever achieved “ignition”—a fusion reaction that generated

Second generation: Scaling with a view-conditioned diffusion prior In 2023, we introduced a second-generation approach which used a view-conditioned diffusion prior to address the limitations of the first approach. Being view-conditioned means that you can give it an image of the top of a shoe and ask the model “what does the front of this shoe look like?” In this way, we can use the view-conditioned diffusion model to help predict what the shoe looks like from any viewpoint, even if we only ha
