Kicking things off on June 11th by participating in the #CVPR2025 Area Chair workshop! Eager to connect with fellow ACs and colleagues. Let's make this an impactful conference!

Always love Juan Carlos's blogs! 😍 His latest dives into how our #CVPR2025 work, ViUniT, catches sneaky bugs in visual programs using synthetic visual unit tests. Fewer lucky mistakes, better and more reliable results, and even small open models beating GPT-4o-mini. Super cool stuff 👇
