What exactly makes long-video generation with Transformers so expensive, and how does MoGA solve it in practice? Quadratic full-attention is the culprit; MoGA replaces it with a learnable token-router that sends each token to one of M semantic groups, runs full attention only inside the group, and drops FLOPs by 70 % while keeping visual quality. What problem is this article solving? Reader question: “Why can’t I just scale Diffusion Transformers to minute-long videos, and what does MoGA change?” Answer: Context length explodes to 580 k tokens; full attention becomes 330 Peta-FLOPs on a single GPU and OOM. MoGA introduces …
🌍 When AI Learns to “Look in the Mirror”: How Tencent’s WorldMirror Lets Machines See the 3D World Instantly Think of the first time you played Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Genshin Impact.

The Vision Compression Revolution: How DeepSeek-OCR Turns One Image into Tenfold Context “If one sentence equals a token, how many memories can an image hold?” — The DeepSeek Team 1. The Long-Context Problem: When Models Forget What They Just Read Every LLM user has faced this: You feed a large model thousands of words — a meeting transcript, a long PDF, or a research paper — and halfway through, it forgets what came first. Why? Because transformer-based LLMs suffer from quadratic scaling in attention complexity. Longer sequences mean exponential computation costs and faster “memory decay.” Humans, however, don’t work that …
An end-to-end walk-through that actually works on your GPU 0. Social-media hook (≤120 characters) “One sentence, one GPU, one mask.” Watch Sa2VA turn plain English into pixel-perfect video segmentation—no timeline scrubbing required. 1. A story that hits home (≈200 words) It was 11 p.m. on a Friday when my product manager pinged me: “Can we remove every blue-shirt guy from the keynote video before Monday?” The PR team groaned at the thought of frame-by-frame rotoscoping. Our legacy VOS model choked on the 47-word prompt I wrote. So I brewed coffee, fired up Sa2VA-4B, and typed: python demo.py –text “segment every …
“ You show AI a screenshot, and it not only describes the content but also operates the interface, generates code, and even tells you what happened at the 23-minute mark of a video—this isn’t science fiction, it’s Qwen3-VL’s daily routine. Remember the excitement when AI first started describing images? Back then, vision models were like toddlers taking their first steps—we’d cheer when they recognized a cat or dog. But today’s Qwen3-VL has grown up—it not only understands but acts; not only recognizes but creates. From “What” to “How”: The Evolution of Visual AI Traditional vision models were like museum guides, …
When AI Finally Learned to “Recognize People” ByteDance’s research team recently published the FaceCLIP paper on arXiv, presenting a solution that caught the industry’s attention. Unlike approaches that rely on “patchwork” Adapters to barely maintain ID similarity, FaceCLIP chose a more fundamental path: building a unified joint ID-textual representation space. Imagine traditional methods like having two people who don’t speak the same language communicate through a translator, while FaceCLIP directly teaches them a common language. The performance improvement from this underlying integration is obvious: achieving unprecedented text alignment accuracy while maintaining identity characteristics. Technical Intuition: Why Previous Solutions “Lost Face” …
