We render PDF pages as images, embed them using ColPali’s multi-vector representations, and rely on late-interaction scoring to retrieve the most relevant pages for […]
The ‘uncanny valley’ is the final frontier for generative video. We have seen AI avatars that can talk, but they often lack the soul of human interaction. They suffer from stiff movements and a lack of emotional context. Tavus aims to fix this with the launch of Phoenix-4, a new generative AI model designed for

Google is moving beyond the rectangular screen. For over 10 years, Google designers have explored how to build interfaces for transparent displays. The result is Jetpack Compose Glimmer, a design system built specifically for display AI glasses. For devs and data scientists, this is a shift from designing for pixels to designing with light. The
