KE:SAI - Kyutai ELLIS Scalable Autonomous Intelligence @kesai.eu · 17/07/2026It's getting real! We have been working on self-driving for more than 15 years, and most of that work has happened in simulation. Today that changes: our research vehicle arrived, and we can start testing our ideas in the physical world. kesai.eu/blog/2026-07... 0216 21
KE:SAI - Kyutai ELLIS Scalable Autonomous Intelligence @kesai.eu · 08/07/2026The AlpaSim E2E Closed Loop Challenge 2026 is open for registration and leaderboard access in a soft-open period. Build AV policies for realistic closed-loop simulation, where each policy's own decisions shape future scenes, observations, and interactions. 182 8
KE:SAI - Kyutai ELLIS Scalable Autonomous Intelligence @kesai.eu · 04/07/2026🔥 ICML 2026 paper alert! Introducing PointDiT, a radically simple diffusion transformer for 3D geometry generation that bypasses the VAE bottleneck completely. We asked: Can we make 3D reconstruction beautifully simple? Turns out: Yes! 📄 Paper + Demo: haofeixu.github.io/pointdit/ 092 9
KE:SAI - Kyutai ELLIS Scalable Autonomous Intelligence @kesai.eu · 03/07/2026Our team placed 3rd in the KITScenes LongTail Challenge at the CVPR 2026 Workshop on Autonomous Driving! We used zero-shot evaluation with the NVIDIA Alpamayo 1.5 vision-language-action model, with zero fine-tuning or task-specific training. 1103 10
KE:SAI - Kyutai ELLIS Scalable Autonomous Intelligence @kesai.eu · 28/06/2026World Engine is a RL post-training simulator for end-to-end driving. In collaboration with industry (and industry-scale data), we present an end-to-end policy post-trained within World Engine that achieves 200 km real driving without intervention. github.com/OpenDriveLab... 062 6
KE:SAI - Kyutai ELLIS Scalable Autonomous Intelligence @kesai.eu · 27/06/2026The unreasonable effectiveness of state-of-the-art imitation learning models in the CARLA simulator is largely explained by a hidden shortcut: the target point bias. Read more in our new blog. Link in the comments. 170 7
