It is a great honor to win the Best Paper Award at #CVPR25! A massive thank you to all collaborators A. Vedaldi, @n_karaev, @MinghaoChen23, C. Rupprecht and especially to @jianyuan_wang , who was the main driving force that led to perfecting the model and its amazing release!
Thrilled and honored to receive the Best Paper Award at #CVPR2025! Huge thanks to my fantastic collaborators @MinghaoChen23, @n_karaev, Andrea Vedaldi, Christian Rupprecht, and @davnov134. Could not be there without you!
🚀 The next generation of AI models must go beyond creating pixels - it needs to build and understand worlds. At SpAItial, we're developing foundation models that are physically grounded by design. Excited to share what we've been building with an incredible team!
🚀🚀🚀Announcing our $13M funding round to build the next generation of AI: 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐬 that can generate entire 3D environments anchored in space & time. 🚀🚀🚀 Interested? Join our world-class team: 🌍 spaitial.ai #GenAI #3DAI
Many Congratulations to @jianyuan_wang, @MinghaoChen23, @n_karaev, Andrea Vedaldi, Christian Rupprecht and @davnov134 for winning the Best Paper Award @CVPR for "VGGT: Visual Geometry Grounded Transformer" 🥇🎉 🙌🙌 #CVPR2025!!!!!!
I managed to take a picture with our new superstar in computer vision - best paper @CVPR first author @jianyuan_wang with his fantastic work VGGT. For his excellence but also his humble great personal traits. Congrats @Oxford_VGG and all coauthors
One of Europe’s top AI researchers raised a $13M seed to crack the ‘holy grail’ of models | TechCrunch techcrunch.com/2025/05/26/one…
After great years as a PhD & postdoc at MPI Informatics, I’m excited to share what’s next! I am very honored to receive the Eurographics PhD Award — special thanks to my advisors Karol Myszkowski & Tobias Ritschel (UCL), my collaborators, and my amazing wife & family.
After two incredible years at Meta, it’s time for a new adventure! It’s been a journey full of growth, fun, and pushing the limits of 3D scene reconstruction & synthesis. I'm deeply grateful to have worked with such a brilliant, dedicated team and for all the wonderful memories.
📢📢Want to build 𝟑𝐃 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐬? 📢📢 ➡️We're looking for Diffusion/3D/ML/Infra engineers and scientists in Munich & London. Get in touch for details! #3D #GenAI #spatialintelligence #foundationmodels
📐 VGGT: The new SOTA in multi-view feedforward 3D reconstruction: - Blazing fast: 100 images reconstructed in <4 sec - SOTA accuracy: Outperforms all existing multi-view feed-forward reconstructors Code & demo & comparisons 👉 vgg-t.github.io
Introducing VGGT (CVPR'25), a feedforward Transformer that directly infers all key 3D attributes from one, a few, or hundreds of images, in seconds! No expensive optimization needed, yet delivers SOTA results for: ✅ Camera Pose Estimation ✅ Multi-view Depth Estimation ✅ Dense…
New dataset from researchers at Meta — uCO3D, or UnCommon Objects in 3D, is the largest publicly-available object-centric dataset for 3D deep learning and 3D generative AI. More on this project ➡️ go.fb.me/8u86hq
We are forging something very new in 3D GenAI for cutting-edge content creation and understanding with 3D Foundational Models! 🔨 ➡️ We're looking for 3D/ML/Infra engineers and scientists in Munich & London. Get in touch for details!
Excited about 3D GenAI? There’s something super exciting brewing… If you know of researchers, or 3D / ML / infra engineers, there are positions open in Munich and London. Reach out!
