Artificial intelligence commonly refers to the science and engineering of artificial systems that can carry out tasks generally associated with requiring aspects of human intelligence, such as playing games, translating languages, and driving cars. In recent years, there have been exciting advances in learning-based, data-driven approaches towards AI, and machine learning and deep learning have enabled computer systems to perceive the world in unprecedented ways.
Conditional flow matching (CFM) was introduced by three simultaneous papers at ICLR 2023, through different approaches (conditional matching, rectifying flows and stochastic interpolants). The main part of this post, Section 2, explains CFM by using both visual intuitions and insights on its probabilistic formulations.
Here, we provide a comprehensive and extensive overview of 86 open-access forest datasets across spatial scales, encompassing inventories, ground-based, aerial-based, satellite-based recordings, and country or world maps. These datasets are grouped in OpenForest, a dynamic catalog open to contributions that strives to reference all available open-access forest datasets.
What’s going on in the world of data validation? For those of you who don’t know, data validation is the process of checking data quality in an automated or semi-automated way—for example, checking datatypes, checking the number of missing values, and detecting whether there are anomalous numbers…

Microsoft is reportedly developing MAI, a new family of AI models that rivals current industry leaders — alongside the build-out of its own in-house reasoning models to reduce reliance on OpenAI for its Copilot suite. The new MAI models reportedly match top offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic, with the company planning to offer them through Azure.
Former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever's startup Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI) is reportedly raising $2B at a $30B valuation—with the researcher hinting at a different approach to achieving advanced AI than all other rivals. Sutskever reportedly told investors he has identified a completely new direction for AI development, describing it as “a different mountain to climb.”
Manus is an autonomous agent that can analyze, plan, and execute tasks on its own. It is currently only accessible through invitation codes, which are in short supply - demand is through the roof as the AI community is raving about its capabilities. Many are now asking whether China has leapfrogged the US in AI.
Gemini Embedding text model is a new AI model for understanding text relationships across languages. It’s helpful if you’re building search, recommendation, or classification systems. It works across finance, science, and legal fields without special training.
Sam Altman’s World Network released World Chat, an encrypted mini-app that allows users to chat, connect, and send money with verified humans. World Chat combines the Contacts tab, the World ID protocol and the World App wallet to enable features and functions that make World Chat incredibly useful.
