Vision-language models (VLMs) combine the powerful language understanding of foundational LLMs with the vision capabilities of vision transformers (ViTs) by projecting text and images into the same embedding space. They can take unstructured multimodal data, reason over it, and return the output in a structured format. Building on a broad base of pretraining, they can be easily adapted for…

Researchers at Washington State University (WSU) unveiled a new AI-guided 3D printing technique that can help physicians print intricate replicas of human organs. Surgeons can then use these organ models to practice before performing the actual surgery, which gives doctors more tools to improve surgical results. The AI algorithm was trained on images and key attributes of human kidneys and…
