I don't quite see how this would help OCR at all? or am I misunderstanding what kind of OCR you're thinking of?
Deepseek-OCR uses SAM V1 as a component in its pipeline already. It also does layout detection.

I wonder if we'll get an updated DeepSeek-OCR that incorporates this. Would be very cool!
Not a fan. Code branches and this is Good Thing(TM). Result violates the single responsibility principle and tries to make what are distinct paths into a single thing. If your language has exceptions and returned values as distinct constructs then obfuscating them with Result means you end up fighting the language which becomes apparent fairly quickly. It's also a frustrating experience to want to interact with returned values directly and constantly have to deal with a polymorphic wrapper.
23 healthy adults ... who were able to fall asleep inside an MRI with EEG leads stuck to their heads. That's not an easy feat!

So now OpenAI is committed to spending $550 billion dollars? ($300B to Oracle and $250B to MS). If it currently has ~$10B in revenue / year, how on earth can it meet these commitments?
Isn't legal gambling default profitable? The house is allowed to remove players who are good at games that involve skill and set the win ratio on games that don't (as specified in regulations).
Is this a case of bureaucracy forcing people into illegality?
While all the security / privacy concerns in this thread are spot on I must say that this thing works. I had it do a proximity based search for me in Google Maps and then populate a new Google Sheet with this data and it just went off and did it right the first time. Now obviously Google could probably do this much better once they get around to it, but this is the first truly usable browser automation tool I've ever used and I spent years working with Selenium.
My plan is to create shadow accounts for Atlas and use it to automate tedious research tasks that span multiple websites that other AIs have trouble accessing.
Very cool, unfortunately I find the 3D completely unusable on mobile. The moment I touch it in orbit mode it locks to a southern pole view and whips about like crazy however I try rotate it.
