OpenAI Unveils Sora 1.0 Technical Report

The long-awaited technical details for Sora 1.0 have finally arrived. OpenAI's video generation model is revealed to be a \"world simulator\" that uses a transformer architecture operating on spacetime patches. The report highlights its ability to maintain 3D consistency and object permanence, though it still struggles with complex physical interactions like glass shattering.

EchoJEPA: A New Vision for Cardiac Health

Researchers have introduced EchoJEPA, a foundation model specifically designed for echocardiograms. By predicting in latent space rather than pixels, it ignores ultrasound noise to focus on clinical signals. Tests show a 20% improvement in heart function estimation, proving robust even on pediatric patients without specialized training.

SkillRL: The Recursive Skill Bank

SkillRL bridges the gap between raw experience and high-level policy. It distills agent trajectories into a \"SkillBank\" of reusable behaviors that evolve alongside the agent. This co-evolution allows agents to tackle increasingly complex tasks in environments like ALFWorld and WebShop with record-breaking success rates.

AdaptEvolve: Smart Routing for Efficiency

Evolutionary agent systems are notoriously expensive, but AdaptEvolve offers a fix. Using \"confidence-driven routing,\" it monitors the AI's own certainty: easy sub-problems stay with small, cheap models, while only the hardest decisions are escalated to frontier models, reducing costs by 38%.
