- ewuhic 2y agoWhere are all the links to models?

- cebert 2y agoThe seamless transition demo is fantastic. The translated voice is passable for my own native voice. It would be incredible when we can achieve this in real-time.
- exgrv 2y agoWe can! At Kyutai, we released a real-time, on-device speech translation demo last week. For now, it is working only for French to English translation, on an iPhone 16 Pro: https://x.com/neilzegh/status/1887498102455869775 https://x.com/neilzegh/status/1887498102455869775 We released inference code and weights, you can check our github here: https://github.com/kyutai-labs/hibiki https://github.com/kyutai-labs/hibiki
- ketzo 2y agoDamn, this is pretty amazing. Feels like we’re not far off from the babel fish.
- mastermedo 2y agoGood work. The delay seems to be around 5 secods. This is a step in the right direction. I'm wondering how much more real-time can we push it.
- rob-olmos 2y agoIs this subject purposely spelled Aidemos somewhere like the HN title says instead of AI Demos?
- sophiebits 2y agoHN automatically recapitalizes words in submission titles so I think it’s possible this could have been submitted as “AIDemos by Meta”.
- rob-olmos 2y agoAhh I see. Thanks for the info!
- riffraff 2y agoAt least it's not AI Demons
- saikatsg 2y agoFixed.
- o-o- 2y agoAidemos... the greek god... of intelligence...?
- npalli 2y ago“ Our site is not available in your region at this time.”
- xnx 2y agoGetting this from the US

- techscruggs 2y agoSame. Texas.
- chairmanwow1 2y agoI was getting this from inside the US, however setting my VPN to LA worked to get around it. I assume this is because that's where the Meta engineers are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ EDIT: Once accessed there is this note: > This research demo is not open to residents of, or those accessing the demo from, the States of Illinois or Texas. and I'm in TX
- meltyness 2y agoI think Texas has some recent law that could be interpreted as being against twinning tech / deep fakes like the voice cloning. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ seems like a good time to "ask the lawyers" and "not make a not political statement" Even a passing glance it would be immediately clear that it's not a real risk of any sort.
- brap 2y agoWhat is Meta’s angle with AI? They seem to be doing a lot of research but what is the end goal? Google and MSFT I understand, Meta not so much.
- JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B 2y agoMoney and manipulation? Was that a real question?
- isoprophlex 2y agoYou forgot "fucking over the competition". Not that I'm complaining about their open-weights model releases destroying openai's moat... but still.
- twelve40 2y agoYes, that's a real question, even for the money and manipulation use case, how does this help, especially the money part?
- mistrial9 2y agoall math leads to cryptography; all media leads to ads (?)
- barbazoo 2y agoGenerated content is my assumption. Both, by users but also fully automated.
- brap 2y agoI don’t think anyone wants generated content in their IG/FB feed, so not sure how this will play out in the long run
- twelve40 2y agoSadly, i don't think they care much about what "everyone wants" because with userbase this size they will figure out a way to forcefully shove whatever they come up with into people's faces.
- meltyness 2y agoIt's a tool box of demos with the following: Segment Anything 2: Create video cutouts and other fun visual effects with a few clicks. Seamless Translation: Hear what you sound like in another language. Animated Drawings: Bring hand-drawn sketches to life with animations. Audiobox: Create an audio story with A1-generated voices and sounds.
- echelon 2y ago> This research demo is not open to residents of, or those accessing the demo from, the States of Illinois or Texas. Not accessible if you're in Illinois or Texas. They must have anti-AI laws, probably with voice conversion moreso than image segmentation and cartoon animation. Hopefully the lawmakers see beneficial use cases and fix their laws to target abuse instead of a blanket coarse-grained GenAI restriction.
- azinman2 2y agoIllinois has laws against biometrics, which basically can be interpreted as broadly as anything that even looks for a face as a binary classifier. The translation demo uses video, intended to be your face. Knowing meta they save all of it.
- bongodongobob 2y ago"knowing meta" - as if any company working on AI isn't saving all the training data they can.
- azinman2 2y agoAnthropic claims otherwise
- JKCalhoun 2y agoI'm in Nebraska — but I think, due to my ISP, I appear to be in the Chicago area. Oh well.
- kylecazar 2y agoSeamless translation is... Pretty incredible. I speak English and Spanish, so I recorded some English sentences and listened to the Spanish output it generated. It came damn close to my own Spanish (although I have more Castilianisms in mine, which of course I wouldn't expect it to know)
- heyjamesknight 2y agoA real test here would be to give it to my friend from Mendoza, Argentina. I'm bilingual and still can't understand him. I'm not even sure half the things he says are actual words.
- xandrius 2y agoUnfortunate that the examples they provide were absolutely terrible and robotic. It put me off from actually trying it, I might reconsider.
- lttlrck 2y agoDid it _sound_ like you though? It doesn't sound remotely like me.
- kylecazar 2y agoIt didn't really the first time. I recorded a second one and annunciated really strong/well (and said more) -- that yielded the positive results.
- mattlondon 2y agoI tried it and it sounded nothing like me at all - just some random "generic" male voice that translate what I said into german. My wife put it as "that's shit - sounds nothing like you". Nuff said.
- ludwik 2y agoSome for me. I'm a man with a relatively deep voice. The translation was read out by some generic female AI voice.
- lelag 2y agoIt's not exhaustive. For exemple, it's missing the Meta Motivo demo at https://metamotivo.metademolab.com/ https://metamotivo.metademolab.com/ (humanoid control model)
- lvl155 2y agoThese are all half-baked at best. They are spending so much money on undergraduate-level work. But to be fair, who in their right mind would work for Meta in 2025 if you have the talent.
- a-arbabian 2y agoOf the big companies doing significant work in AI, I'd say Meta is one of the top ones to work at. Even if you're just looking at it from a 'who are the good guys' standpoint.
- lvl155 2y agoI’ve never heard anyone say Meta is the good guys. It ranks worse than Oracle in my book.
- bongodongobob 2y agoThey are probably referring to open sourcing llama.
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- nabaraz 2y agoI expected a lot more.
- xyst 2y ago> Our site is not available in your region at this time. What the shit is this?
- tsumnia 2y agoNeat, but I wish Meta would just say what this really is - "please give us some In the Wild data to further train our models on". I did the same technique years ago for estimating ages. Person uploads an image, helps align 10% of our facial landmark points, and run the estimator. If we were wrong, ask for correction and refine. Its still cool and all, but meh based on my prior experience.
- rocauc 2y agoMeta deeply comprehends the impact of GPT-3 vs ChatGPT. The model is a starting point, and the UX of what you do with the model showcases intelligence. This is especially pronounced in visual models. Telling me SAM2 can "see anything" is neat. Clicking the soccer ball and watching the model track it seamlessly across the video even when occluded is incredible.
- ghxst 2y agoI'm pretty impressed with the segment anything[0] demo, is this integrated into an actual product anywhere? I do some simple video editing for friends as a hobby and can see some of this be pretty useful. [0]https://sam2.metademolab.com/ https://sam2.metademolab.com/
- avgd 2y agoSwarmUI, a front-end for image generation models, has integrated SAM2 as a quick way to mask parts of an image for things like inpainting. It's wonderful.
- barrenko 2y agoIt probably is, but you won't hear it advertised as such.
- Etheryte 2y agoPhotoroom [0] is from Y Combinator and their product is essentially SAM plus a lot of polish along with a good user experience. I'm not sure if they're using it, but if they're not, I think they should be. [0] https://www.photoroom.com/ https://www.photoroom.com/
- lm28469 2y agoWe can add these to the pile of completely useless AI shit the world built in the last two years. Are people under some kind of spell that forces them to be in owe ? Looking at a lawnmower magazine is more interesting than these in term of utility and interesting tech
- thih9 2y agoIf anyone else is wondering, Meta FAIR stands for "Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research" and has since been renamed to "Meta AI"[1]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_AI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_AI
