AI INSIGHTS
Meta just dropped a model that turns one photo into a full 3D scene. Shape, texture, pose. And it works on real, messy images that older models always failed on.
How they pulled it off:
• A “human + model-in-the-loop” pipeline
• Nearly 1M real images
• 3.14M meshes
• LLM-style pretrain → mid-train → post-train → DPO alignment
The jump is huge:
• 5× human preference win on objects
• 6× win on full scenes
• Best-in-class Chamfer (0.0400)
• Faster geometry (25 → 4 steps)
SAM-3D doesn’t just guess visible pixels. It builds the hidden 3D shape and places it correctly in the scene.
Why it matters: This is the closest we’ve seen to a general 3D foundation model. Robotics, AR/VR, gaming, ads, product photos - anything that needs instant 3D now shifts to a higher bar. Meta just claimed the lead in spatial AI.

AI CHART
Anthropic tested political bias across 1,350 paired prompts. same question. two opposite political angles. The goal was simple. see which model stays fair.
The chart shocked people. Claude Sonnet 4.5 scored more even-handed than GPT-5 and Llama 4, and sat neck-and-neck with Grok 4 and Gemini 2.5 Pro.
Key results:
Claude Sonnet 4.5 → 94%
Claude Opus 4.1 → 95%
Gemini 2.5 Pro / Grok 4 → slightly higher
GPT-5 → 89%
Llama 4 → 66%
They also checked:
Opposing perspectives → Claude often listed both sides
Refusals → Claude stayed low. Llama refused the most
Anthropic open-sourced the whole evaluation. Anyone can test any model with the same method.
The takeaway is clear. Claude is getting closer to “show the argument,” not “pick a side.”
