What makes people drop familiar solutions for novel ones? It depends: those higher in intelligence will more easily switch to new methods that are superior; those high in trait Openness don’t discriminate—they simply prefer what’s new, research suggests: buff.ly/ZpSTrdP

Tomorrow I will present the Quick ViTs poster at ECCV! Come and discuss image symmetries, GPU throughput and ViTs! Poster session 3, Friday 10:30, poster #26. Quick ViTs are a way to build ViTs that are faster than standard ViTs *and* encode planar symmetries of images into the architecture.

Today, we will send a preference form to all NeurIPS authors. Please discuss your preferences with your co-authors and submit the form by September 30, 2026. If your paper is accepted, your presenter and location preferences will help us allocate papers fairly across our three conference locations.

We improved the MUSt3R demo again, it runs on my laptop at ~20fps and has loop-closure (with memory updates!). If you'd like to try this, come see our #ECCV2026 demo Friday morning, with online reconstruction+panoptic segmentation, and other cool works from our lab!

🌡 August #C3S Climate Bulletin reports that August was the joint-warmest month on record & 1.65°C above the estimated pre-industrial level. Western Europe saw its warmest summer on record, while the average sea surface temperature across the extra-polar ocean was also the joint highest on record. ⬇️
