Formative is the right way to put it - so many good memories and friends! The sense of ownership and agency Palantir offered was very special in retrospect. Looking forward to seeing what the alumni class comes up with in the years to come!

Such a great idea! A good figure is worth >1000 words (and personally takes up a huge chunk of paper writing effort to this day)

Our team at NVIDIA is recruiting PhD research interns for next year. If you are interested in neural reconstruction, generative models, graphics and related topics. Please apply at the link below or contact me directly. :) nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/NVIDIAEx…

🚀Excited to introduce GEN3C #CVPR2025, a generative video model with an explicit 3D cache for precise camera control. 🎥It applies to multiple use cases, including single-view and sparse-view NVS🖼️ and challenging settings like monocular dynamic NVS and driving simulation🚗.

I use this extensively in my day-to-day - really excited to see how the public builds upon it! Great work by Qi Wu, Nicolas Moenne-Loccoz, and the team!

🚀 Details of the #CVPR2025 award candidate papers are out. 14 of 2967 accepted papers made the list, spanning 3D vision, embodied AI, VLMs/MLLMs, learning systems, and scene understanding. 3D vision leads with the most entries. I collected the TL;DR, paper, and project links👇

📢Our team at NVIDIA AI is again looking for Research Scientists and Engineerings to help us push the boundaries of Neural Reconstruction and Generation in AV and Robotics simulation! Check out our latest work at zgojcic.github.io, and if interested, reach out directly!

🚀 Just in time for the #CVPR rush: we’ve released the code for Difix3D+ — a Best Paper Award candidate! 🔧 Try out the code & demos: github.com/nv-tlabs/Difix… 🎤 Oral (June 15): 1:00–1:15 PM CDT, Karl Dean Grand Ballroom 🖼️ Poster: 4:00–6:00 PM CDT, ExHall D (#57) Join us! #CVPR2025

📢📢We have a last-minute internship opening on my team at NVIDIA AI for this summer. If you are interested and have experience with large feedforward reconstruction models or post-training image/video diffusion models, please get in touch!
