# forck.live — 23–29 May 2022 > AI lab announcements, news reports and podcasts. forck.live follows what companies announce about their own products. Press may corroborate an official story; it never leads and never appears as an item of its own. A missing date stays missing. A title is the publisher's words — where a company does not publish in English, an English rendering is listed separately as `Title in English` and named as this site's translation, never as theirs. This file is one issue of the weekly archive: every confirmed first-party announcement of ISO week 2022-W21, 23–29 May 2022, newest first. The window never moves, so this URL always names the same seven days — but a post published inside them and detected later is added when it arrives, so a closed week can still gain entries. Every entry is one first-party announcement, and carries the same eight fields in this order before any others: Company · Announced · Category · Coverage · Announcement · Group · Source · Record `Source` is the company's own page the announcement was traced to and `Record` is this site's page for it. Both are safe to cite. `Coverage` is a number of outlets, or `not counted` — which means this record reached no count of its own, never that nobody wrote about it. `Category` is this tracker's own analysis, and is authoritative wherever it is stated. `not stated` means either that nothing has analysed the post yet or that the analysis placed it outside this taxonomy; neither is a verdict about the announcement. `Announcement` is whether the post is news of something the company did, rather than a how-to, a customer story, a changelog listing or a staffing note. `Group` is which of this record's groups the entry falls in, carried on the entry itself so it holds where the groups are headings and where they are not. One of: `models`, `covered`, `announcements`, `routine`. Anything after `Record` is held detail that only some announcements carry. - This week's page: https://forck.live/week/2022-W21 - The current issue, and the catalogue of the other weeks: https://forck.live/briefing.md - Catalogue: https://forck.live/llms.txt ## Announcements ### Replicate — Constraining CLIPDraw - Company: Replicate (replicate.com) - Announced: 2022-05-27 - Category: not stated - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: no - Group: routine - Source: https://replicate.com/blog/constraining-clipdraw - Record: https://forck.live/items/2585-constraining-clipdraw - Subject: Platform A Replicate engineer describes modifying the CLIPDraw model to constrain its drawing to the center of the canvas, sharing technical details about PyTorch gradient flow and vectorization. ### Hugging Face — Graphcore and Hugging Face Launch New Lineup of IPU-Ready Transformers - Company: Hugging Face (huggingface.co) - Announced: 2022-05-26 - Category: developer-tool-release - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: yes - Group: announcements - Source: https://huggingface.co/blog/graphcore-update - Record: https://forck.live/items/2191-graphcore-and-hugging-face-launch-new-lineup-of-ipu-ready-transformers - Subject: Platform Graphcore and Hugging Face expanded the Optimum library with 10 IPU-ready Transformer models covering NLP, Speech, and Computer Vision. ### Runway — Towards unified keyframe propagation models - Company: Runway (runway.com) - Announced: 2022-05-25T22:24:14.964000+00:00 - Category: research-paper - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: yes - Group: announcements - Source: https://runway.com/research/towards-unified-keyframe-propagation-models - Record: https://forck.live/items/7942-towards-unified-keyframe-propagation-models - Subject: Gen / Aleph Runway presents a two-stream approach for keyframe propagation in video editing that separates high-frequency and low-frequency feature interactions, achieving 44% and 26% improvements in FID and LPIPS scores for video inpainting. ### Hugging Face — Introducing Pull Requests and Discussions 🥳 - Company: Hugging Face (huggingface.co) - Announced: 2022-05-25 - Category: capability-change - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: yes - Group: announcements - Source: https://huggingface.co/blog/community-update - Record: https://forck.live/items/2192-introducing-pull-requests-and-discussions - Subject: Platform Hugging Face announces the release of pull requests and discussions on the Hub, enabling community collaboration on models, datasets, and Spaces. ### OpenAI — Powering next generation applications with OpenAI Codex - Company: OpenAI (openai.com) - Announced: 2022-05-24T07:00:00+00:00 - Category: api-release - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: yes - Group: announcements - Source: https://openai.com/index/codex-apps - Record: https://forck.live/items/908-powering-next-generation-applications-with-openai-codex - Subject: GPT / ChatGPT / API OpenAI announces that Codex is now powering 70 different applications across various use cases through the OpenAI API. ### Hugging Face — Efficient Table Pre-training without Real Data: An Introduction to TAPEX - Company: Hugging Face (huggingface.co) - Announced: 2022-05-23 - Category: research-paper - Coverage: not counted - Announcement: yes - Group: announcements - Source: https://huggingface.co/blog/tapex - Record: https://forck.live/items/2193-efficient-table-pre-training-without-real-data-an-introduction-to-tapex - Subject: Platform TAPEX, a table pre-training method that learns a neural SQL executor using synthetic SQL queries and execution results, achieving state-of-the-art results on table question answering and fact verification benchmarks.
