Chapters

00:01 Robotics discussion meeting with some colleagues absent due to Golden Week

This section begins with Tina Tsou getting the meeting started despite some colleagues in Asia being in the Golden Week. They have robotics on the agenda. Jeff was supposed to share but Haruhisa Fukano starts. He introduces himself, mentions his work on an open community and the Robotics Blueprint which is an OSS stack for sensor networks in robotics, and he and Jeff are working together on it. Then he attempts to show more details on the robotics blueprint.

05:58 Robotics development, challenges, solutions and related discussions

This section is mainly about robotics in TikTok. Haruhisa Fukano presented the vision, goal and current status of spreading robotics to various industries. He mentioned challenges in robotics today and two solutions. Jeff updated the robotics wiki page with more information and links. There was also discussion about a robotics demo named Next AI and how to categorize robotics work, whether as a work stream or a more general resource.

20:37 Work updates and sharing screen for better understanding in a multi - participant meeting.

This section mainly focuses on work arrangements and updates. Tina Tsou suggests putting general resources before robotics and assigns it as an action item for Jia. She also asks Wilson Wang for an update on the overview or spear. Wilson Wang mentions he will do further updates later. Tina Tsou also gives advice on sharing the screen when talking about work to help non - native English speakers understand better.

22:12 Updates on Salary, AI Agent Platform and Edge Database in a Project

This section is about updates in a project. Wilson Wang updated on salary - he and Borry discussed worker design in general Fair architecture. They aim to create an MVP or POC. Gory will give a demo of Agent 0. Tina Tsou added information about an AI agent platform relevant to the OPR project. They plan to invite OPR TSC members to next week's call and proposed repo creation in Infinite Hai and CICD in the OPR project. One person had no update on the edge database topic.

27:39 Discussion on Edge AI Project, Work Streams and AI Security Considerations

This section starts with Tina Tsou being asked to introduce people. Tom Qin has no update on the work stream side. Tina Tsou then focuses on an AI overview, specifically manufacturing use cases. An unknown speaker is interested in security and posts relevant news. Tina Tsou suggests adding security considerations to the project. Another discussion about security ensues and Jeff asks Victor for clarification on tracking datasets.

33:08 California AI Act: Requirements and Implications Despite Veto

This section mainly discusses AI regulations. It mentions the EU's efforts like building the next layer after UX and code of practice. It focuses on the California AI Act which was vetoed by the governor but other parts were signed. The act requires information like summary, sources, etc. when training models. There are also discussions about IP issues in datasets and related questions on Stack Exchange and Stack Overflow.

38:26 Jeff Inquires about Next AI's Online Demo and Product-Related Questions

This section is about a conversation regarding Next AI. Jeff asks if there is an online demo like on Hugging Face. Yli initially seems unaware but then states that Next AI has its model online on Hugging Face, its own platform, and TikTok repo. Jeff will attend an event virtually and has many questions. Yli offers to pass Jeff's contact info to developers. Tina also talks about using an AI character for their AI - related three - day event.

43:39 Discussion about Next AI models and related SDK, plus meeting arrangements

This section mainly consists of a discussion about choosing a model similar to Llama in terms of resource consumption. Yli mentions the octopus models and the Next SDK for running Llama on devices. There is also talk about an online chat window option. Additionally, there are exchanges about people's travel and work status, and an invitation to a Lark group, along with some technical explanations about Next AI's products.

49:57 Amber, a Japanese PhD student in AI and healthcare, introduced herself and potential collaboration was suggested.

This section begins with Amber introducing herself as a PhD student from Japan doing research on AI, healthcare, and medicine, particularly computer - aided diagnosis. She was introduced to the group by Tina. Haruhisa Fukano asks Amber about her location, and they clarify that they are in different parts of Japan. Tina suggests that Amber and Haruhisa should collaborate as they both work on robotics in healthcare cases.
