Recently, the San Francisco-based startup Spott announced it had raised $3.2 million in seed funding with the goal of building an AI-native recruitment platform to help recruitment agencies streamline processes and eliminate technical fragmentation. The round was led by Base10Partners, with participation from Y Combinator, Fortino, True Equity, and several angel investors. Spott has just completed the Y Combinator 2025 Winter Accelerator.

DiPIR is an innovative technology designed to address the technical challenges of seamlessly inserting virtual objects into real scenes. It achieves this by combining large-scale diffusion models with physics-based inverse rendering processes to accurately recover scene lighting information from a single image, allowing for the natural integration of virtual objects with their environments. The workflow of DiPIR includes constructing virtual 3D scenes, simulating interactions between objects and environments, and optimizing lighting conditions through diffusion models to ensure that generated images conform to real scenes. Its advantages include wide applicability, suitable for scenes under different lighting conditions, and the generation of highly realistic images.
