I recently dug into a paper on Embodied Reasoning that had an interesting approach to forcing VLAs to do true spatial reasoning through RL.
I wrote a breakdown covering the core ideas — specifically how they tackle spatial grounding, their optimization approach.
I'm curious to hear your thoughts on it as well🚀

unpopular opinion: don't spend too much time thinking about VLA models - they're going to get totally obliterated by WAMs.

CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST: COLLABORATIVE SCIENTIFIC WRITING PROJECT
I am putting together a team of researchers and emerging scholars to collaboratively develop scientific review articles.
Proposed Research Themes:
Fungal Biology and Secondary Metabolism
Microbial Genetics and Genomics
Molecular Microbiology and Host–Pathogen Interactions
Antimicrobial Resistance and Drug Discovery
Environmental Microbiology and Microbial Ecology
Microbial Biotechnology and Industrial Applications
Synthetic Biology and Genetic Engineering
Microbial Adaptation and Stress Responses
Team Structure
Participants will be organised into groups of five, with each group working on two review topics:
3 experienced contributors: With research, scientific writing, and academic publishing experience.
2 emerging researchers: Willing to learn and develop their scientific writing and research skills.
Priority will be given to individuals familiar with the academic publishing process. However, enthusiastic learners are equally encouraged to apply.
How to Apply
Send an expression of interest to [email protected] with:
A brief introduction and academic background.
Research interests and relevant experience.
An updated CV (PDF format).
Email subject: Collaborative Scientific Writing Project – Expression of Interest.
Deadline: Thursday, November 12, 2026.
This is an opportunity to gain practical research experience, collaborate with other researchers, strengthen your academic writing skills, and contribute to scientific publications.
Let's build something meaningful together!

I've been thinking alot about delay/disruption tolerant networks and drone swarms. These systems can actually be game changers for disaster response especially in Nigeria where response time for fire service is very high. @cy63rx_ if you ever plan on doing research in area..
I decided to play with this model I fine-tuned some months back🤦🏽♂️
Seeing the third response, what came to my head was "who the hell do you think you are"😅
I lost the codes, but I'm rebuilding it from scratch again, slowly, and the results will be much better this time.
