Can GANs compete in 2025? In 'The GAN is dead; long live the GAN! A Modern GAN Baseline', we show that a minimalist GAN w/o any tricks can match the performance of EDM with half the size and one-step generation - github.com/brownvc/r3gan - work of Nick Huang, @skylion.bsky.social, Volodymyr Kuleshov

Researcher: "We let the data speak for itself." Earlier that day:

Excited to announce ScanNet++ v2!🎉 @awhiteguitar.bsky.social & Yueh-Cheng Liu have been working tirelessly to bring: 🔹1006 high-fidelity 3D scans 🔹+ DSLR & iPhone captures 🔹+ rich semantics Elevating 3D scene understanding to the next level!🚀 w/ @niessner.bsky.social kaldir.vc.in.tum.de/scannetpp

#NeurIPS was a blast - geting to know great people and meeting old friends, lots of LLM, multi-modal, synthetic data and diffusion. Whats a better way to wrap up such a week than watching an NHL game.
