vLLM's Semantic Router team has released d3-ultra, a 27B open multimodal decision model under Apache 2.0. It writes no text: it reads text, images or video once and returns a probability for every answer, so one call covers routing, classification and visual grounding. It scored 87.2 on the team's SR-Text test, ahead of GLiDE V1.2 on 85.1. https://www.marktechpost.com/2026/10/26/vllm-semantic-router-d3-ultra-27b-multimodal-decision-model/ #AIagent #AI #GenAI #AIresearch

🤖🧗 Can humanoid robots climb walls?

This week in Bordeaux, 7 teams from Taiwan, Germany, Scotland and France will have three intense days of hackathon to find out. They'll need to perceive the wall, plan hand/foot-hold contacts, and coordinate whole-body motions to pull it off.

I'll be there giving a tutorial on contact planning, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the teams come up with!

Almada 的 Cristo Rei 立在特茹河南岸的 Pragal 高地上,张开双臂朝向里斯本。整座纪念像高 110 米,其中基座 82 米,基督像 28 米,1959 年 5 月 17 日落成。

修建的念头来自里斯本宗主教 Cerejeira 枢机。1934 年 10 月,他从布宜诺斯艾利斯回国,飞机经过里约热内卢上空,看到了 Corcovado 山上的基督像。1937 年,葡萄牙主教团在四旬期联合牧函里正式提出这项工程。

二战爆发后,1940 年 4 月 20 日,主教们在 Fátima 许愿:如果葡萄牙免于战火,就在里斯本上方立一座圣心纪念像。葡萄牙在战争中保持中立,全国募款随之加紧,1941 年买下土地,1949 年奠基。据圣所记载,落成典礼约有 30 万人到场。
