After a year of team work, we're thrilled to introduce Depth Anything 3 (DA3)! 🚀 Aiming for human-like spatial perception, DA3 extends monocular depth estimation to any-view scenarios, including single images, multi-view images, and video. In pursuit of minimal modeling, DA3 reveals two key insights: 💎 A plain transformer (e.g., vanilla DINO) is enough. No specialized architecture. ✨ A single depth-ray representation is enough. No complex 3D tasks. Three series of models have been released: the main DA3 series, a monocular metric estimation series, and a monocular depth estimation series. The core team members, aside from me: @HaotongLin, Sili Chen, Jun Hao Liew, @donydchen. 👇(1/n) #DepthAnything3

Can a single autonomous driving simulation world model jointly insert, delete, and control the behavior of all agents and traffic lights in a bird's-eye-view scene? For the first time, we show this is possible in SceneDiffuser , our CVPR '25 paper, w/ 60 second simulations.🧵

We propose a new task, CitySim, where given a city map and an AV software stack, the simulator can simulate the trip from point A -> B by populating the city around the AV and controlling all aspects of the scene (e.g., vehicles, pedestrians, traffic light states).

Great overview on the parallelism techniques needed for LLM training/inference from the new CS336 class at Stanford (Tatsunori Hashimoto & Percy Liang): youtube.com/watch?v=l1RJcDjz…. Info-dense and doesn't shy away from the technical details!

More than 5x growth in paid trips from this time last year — each ride contributing to safer streets and more accessible mobility for all. Here’s to millions more!
24 Apr 2025
We’re now providing more than 250,000 fully autonomous paid rides each and every week. The robotaxi future is here, and it’s powered by our generalizable Waymo Driver 🤖🚘

Thrilled to share that the amazing work of @stan188249301 (@maxjiang93's and I's intern at Waymo Research last summer) is accepted to CVPR 2025! SceneDiffuser fulfills a vision we've had in mind for several years, and we weren't sure if it was even possible. More details soon!

Career Update: After almost 3 years at Waymo Research, I've started a new chapter at Google DeepMind, joining the Gemini effort. After 7 years in the self-driving industry, it is been astonishing to see this technology evolve from a "moonshot" to a mundane everyday commute (1/n)

..especially in a city (SF) I myself have struggled to comfortably drive in for years. Waymo is delivering more than 150,000 rides *per week* with no driver -- truly the arc of progress is unstoppable. It has been my great privilege to work with so many brilliant colleagues here.

I am sincerely grateful to have been able to learn, grow, publish, mentor exceptional interns, and together build the Waymo Driver these past few years. Leaving behind exceptional colleagues is bittersweet, but I’m excited for what lies ahead. ✨✨
