This week, MIT showcased a new model for training robots, aimed at addressing the challenges faced by imitation learning when introduced to small obstacles. Researchers pointed out that imitation learning can fail in conditions such as varying lighting, different environments, or new obstacles because robots simply do not have enough data to adapt. The team sought powerful data methods, like those used in models such as GPT-4, to tackle the problem. They introduced a new architecture called the Heterogeneous Pretrained Transformer (HPT), which aggregates information from different sensors and environments.

AI company Anthropic has announced the release of its AI chatbot Claude's desktop application. Users can download the version for Mac and Windows for free from the official Anthropic website. This move makes using Claude more convenient, as users no longer need to access it through a web browser and can interact more quickly. The desktop application of Claude does not have significant differences in functionality compared to the web version, allowing users to easily ask questions.
