sam3 is seriously a step change improvement over sam2

the model is seriously good, glad they brought back text prompts. the automatic segmentation isn't as good as i hoped it to be...but it still works quite well. 

i also got it to output image embeddings and that was cool to visualize in the app

qwen3vl is literally the best model i've used for video usecases. blows my mind

hosting a virtual event tomorrow about document ai

you may or may not find it interesting, but i guarantee you'll learn something

sony ai released a pretty cool dataset called the fairness human centric image benchmark, super high quality labels

instructions for downloading and parsing the dataset into fiftyone format can be found here: https://lnkd.in/g_VwxJx4

physical AI is top of mind as the next frontier for deep learning. but it'll only succeed if you have good datasets

language models scaled with web-scale text. 

vision models got ImageNet. 

now Voxel51 and NVIDIA are trying to do the same thing for physical AI 

autonomous vehicles, humanoid robots, anything that moves around atoms.

building these systems means millions of hours of testing in high-fidelity sims before you can actually deploy anything. 

petabytes of multimodal sensor data from various modalities

 LiDAR, cameras, radar, IMUs. 

but over 50% of simulations end up completely unusable because the input data is bad.

even small calibration or timing errors between sensors cascade through your neural reconstructions. 

you waste weeks and burn through millions in compute costs before you realize what went wrong.

the new FiftyOne Physical AI Workbench. it integrates with NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Cosmos and basically sits at the start of your sim pipeline to validate, clean up, and prep your multimodal data before it hits neural reconstruction and synthetic data generation.

what it does:

- automatically audits physical AI inputs across 75+ critical checkpoints

- transforms raw sensor streams into structured, searchable datasets

- triggers accurate neural reconstructions and generates synthetic scene variations

this means fewer wasted compute hours. 

iteration loops go from weeks to hours. 

you build safer, more reliable systems on data you can actually trust.

i recently integrated 4 ocr models into fiftyone as remote zoo models these handle text extraction and document parsing. 

all available as remote zoo sources, you can get started with a few lines of code

different approaches for different needs:

1. mineru-2.5

1.2b params, two-stage strategy: global layout on downsampled image, then fine-grained recognition on native-resolution crops. 

handles headers, footers, lists, code blocks. strong on complex math formulas (mixed chinese-english) and tables (rotated, borderless, partial-border).

good for: documents with complex layouts and mathematical content

https://lnkd.in/dSwimdvp

deepseek-ocr

dual-encoder (sam + clip) for "contextual optical compression." 

outputs structured markdown with bounding boxes. has five resolution modes (tiny/small/base/large/gundam). gundam mode is the default - uses multi-view processing (1024×1024 global + 640×640 patches for details). 

supports custom prompts for specific extraction tasks.

good for: complex pdfs and multi-column layouts where you need structured output

https://lnkd.in/dhJn2h-v

olmocr-2

built on qwen2.5-vl, 7b params. outputs markdown with yaml front matter containing metadata (language, rotation, table/diagram detection). 

converts equations to latex, tables to html. labels figures with markdown syntax. reads documents like a human would.

good for: academic papers and technical documents with equations and structured data

https://lnkd.in/dNdTQYKg

kosmos-2.5

microsoft's 1.37b param multimodal model. two modes: ocr (text with bounding boxes) or markdown generation. automatically optimizes hardware usage (bfloat16 for ampere+, float16 for older gpus, float32 for cpu). handles diverse document types including handwritten text.

good for: general-purpose ocr when you need either coordinates or clean markdown

https://lnkd.in/dCTfGfV8


two modes typical across these models: detection (bounding boxes) and extraction (text output)

i also built/revamped the caption viewer plugin for better text visualization in the app:

i've also got two events poppin off for document visual ai:

- nov 6 (tomorrow) with a stellar line up of speakers: https://lnkd.in/gkBEY4_r

hype for this new integration, and proud of the team for shipping it at lightning speed. big ups to Daniel and AdonAI for goin beast mode on this one

🚀 Introducing Physical AI Workbench — integrated with NVIDIA Omniverse NuRec and NVIDIA Cosmos to solve the biggest bottleneck in physical AI.  

More than half of all physical AI simulations fail — not from bad models, but from bad input data. A timestamp off by milliseconds or a calibration drift of a few degrees can cascade through your neural reconstructions, leaving you with unusable results after weeks and millions in wasted compute. 

FiftyOne Physical AI Workbench sits at the start of your simulation pipeline and provides turnkey access to NVIDIA technology to ensure every simulation run begins with trustworthy data: 

✅ Audits 75+ critical checkpoints to ensure every reconstruction starts with validated inputs 
🎯 Enriches raw sensor streams into structured, searchable datasets 
🔗 Integrates directly with NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Cosmos for high-fidelity reconstruction and synthetic data generation. 

The result: an end-to-end workflow that prevents downstream failures — cutting iteration cycles from weeks to hours and eliminating GPU waste on failed reconstructions. We’re excited to see this workflow power autonomous vehicles NVIDIA DRIVE and robotics NVIDIA Robotics development teams move faster with higher accuracy.

73% of data pipeline failures happen because of dependency issues, not bad code.
Cron jobs don't care if yesterday's data never arrived. They'll happily run on empty tables and produce garbage.

Airflow? It checks, retries, alerts, and refuses to cascade your failure downstream.

→ Beyond scheduling Airflow gives an important feature of 𝗗𝗔𝗚𝘀(𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘀), that helps to monitor, retry and gives flexibility to organize pipelines with minimum/less code.

🤔 Data Engineers often misinterpret Airflow just as an orchestration tool.

Apache Airflow is an open-source platform designed to programmatically author, schedule, retry and monitor workflows. 

🎼Think of it as the "conductor of an orchestra", where each musician (your data tasks, like data extraction, transformation, loading, or model training) knows when to play, what to play, and what happens if they make a mistake.

Most data engineers automate the wrong things at the wrong time.

Here's the framework I use after 8 years of building production systems:
✅ AUTOMATE WHEN: 
→ Task runs daily/weekly 
→ Human errors cause outages 
→ Work blocks other priorities
→ Team growth = more manual work
Examples: Reports, schema checks, alerts

❌ DON'T AUTOMATE WHEN: 
→ Task happens quarterly 
→ Requirements change weekly 
→ Process isn't understood yet 
→ Manual steps reveal insights

My rule: If it’s done 3+ times, script it; 10+ times, automate it; fails 5+ times, redesign it.
Automate what matters, when it matters—not everything!

Airflow isn’t just about running tasks.

🕑 It’s about building trustworthy, scalable, and observable pipelines that run reliably at 2am — even when you’re not watching.

Airflow gives structure to your chaos.
DAGs give clarity to your pipelines. 
That’s why DEs love them ❤️

Real Example: 
Instead of: 
❌ Cron jobs that fail silently 
❌ Manual dependency management
❌ No visibility into failures
You get: 
✅ Visual workflow monitoring 
✅ Automatic failure notifications
✅ Smart task scheduling 
✅ Easy debugging & restarting

Here's an amazing Airflow cheatsheet with some fundamentals concepts and interview questions to prepare for data engineers. 👇
