Can Jev specify graphical models for us?

Jev + graphical models: a paradigm shift?

Could Jev + graphical models fundamentally change how we build systems that reason under uncertainty? Unless you've been off the grid this week, you now know that Jev is @typesafeai’s new model for

One of the issues I discussed with students in class today is the ethical component: the Bayes nets will inherit whatever biases Jed has internalized from its training data.

Excited to share our #CoRL2026 work PhysCoRe: a physics-corrected world model for deformable objects! We couple a physics-based simulator with two feed-forward modules: one infers material from vision, the other corrects its internal dynamics. Check: lunarlab-gatech.github.io/Ph…

Some very cool work from @VarunGiridhar3 et al in @animesh_garg’s group - @GTrobotics FTW!

You fine-tune a robot foundation model on a hard task. It gets 25%. Now what? Introducing Q-Planning, a learning-based harness that lets large black-box robot policies recursively self-improve. On a hard fine-grained task: 25% → 80% in 100 robot attempts (~30 mins), no extra human data. q-planning.github.io/ 1/n 🧵

Exciting to see how the community puts @gtsam4 to work! In a guest post, Jash Shah explores an application of factor graphs to 3D Gaussian Splatting, bringing neural rendering together with pose graphs, loop closures, robust noise models, and iSAM2. gtsam.org/2026/08/04/gaussia… #GTSAM #SLAM #3DGS

Huzzah! A new GTSAM blog post by Kosuke Inoue: RTK GNSS double-difference factors for pseudorange + carrier phase, with lever-arm variants for GNSS-IMU fusion and example results on a Tokyo urban driving dataset. A great community contribution to GTSAM’s navigation module. Link in replies.
