Summary

The meeting discussed the progress and plans of various work streams, including AI agent, edge database, and architecture, and the main contents included:

  • AI agent platform: Wilson Wang focused on POCs and will update the overview part. He plans to invite Microsoft AI Agent team and other collaborators for discussion.

  • Edge database: Mao Xi is interested in it but didn't have a chance to talk to the relevant person. Marsha introduced the background and idea of the work stream.

  • Architecture: Wilson Wang explained the high-level architecture, which can run workloads in different isolation levels and involve different parties for further discussion.

  • Work stream 3 spear: Wilson Wang discussed the progress of the POC for the general worker and the AI agent, and will involve different parties for collaboration.

  • Edge gateway: Chris mentioned end-to-end support in Surfside and provided links for more details. He also mentioned a new approach update.

Meeting Kickoff

02:44 Tina Tsou's Problem with Launching the Meeting and Request for Screen Sharing

This section is about a meeting where Tina Tsou tries to launch the meeting but is not allowed. She asks Wilson Wang if he is the only one who can start it as she has checked TikTok. Wilson Wang is not sure and hasn't checked this. He says he will double - check to ensure the configuration allows anyone to start the meeting. Then Tina Tsou asks Tom to share his screen for the agenda.

03:44 Meeting discussion on work progress, postponement, and leveraging community efforts in AI Agent project

This section begins with the news that Chennai from meta had to postpone her part to the next one or two meetings. Then they start to go through work. Wilson Wang didn't update the overview part but was focused on POC last week. Tina Tsou encourages Wilson to involve more parties like those from Microsoft, data companies and gaming companies in the work rather than just doing it with a few people.

09:06 Discussion on Agent Platform, Community Growth, MVP and Work Stream 1

This section focuses on community work related to an agent platform. Tina Tsou mentions several collaboration parties and topics like CICD for the agent platform, user portrait, and data cleaning pipeline. They discuss inviting people to meetings and growing the community. Also, they touch on MVP brainstorming and then move on to work stream 1, specifically issues regarding Nexa AI and live translation accuracy.

14:19 Searching for a Questioner in AMA Session and Discussing Work Streams

This section first focuses on finding the name of a person who asked a valuable question during an AMA session. Tina Tsou asks others to look into it, and Wilson Wang says he'll try to find the name. Then, they discuss adding API providers to Wave Grade and helping a team use it next week. After that, they briefly touch on work stream 1, 2, and finally move to work stream 3 with Wilson Wang leading the discussion.

19:40 Discussion on AI Agent Workload Architecture and Implementation

This section mainly focuses on the high - level architecture. Wilson Wang mentions they are aiming for an MVP that can run on personal machines. Borray is working on APIs for simple AI agents in a Docker scenario. The architecture can be based on container, web assembly etc. It has an interface for different workloads. Wilson has a diagram not fully ready yet. They also discuss the relationship between this architecture and Kubernetes for different types of workloads.

25:09 Discussion about work streams, diagrams, and edge database work

This section involves a discussion about a diagram that is not yet ready for sharing, with Wilson Wang stating he only shared with Boray and will need Boris's contribution to put it up later. There is also talk about code on local machines. Regarding work stream updates, some participants mention not having much to update this week and then there is a discussion about an edge database work stream and its background.

29:10 Leveraging AI Agents Technology and Database for Service Provision and Collaboration

This section starts with how to help on Prime Server leveraging AI agents technology. It then emphasizes the need for a good interface for future AI databases, specifically considering vector databases and the idea of LLM native data generation. There is also mention of potential synergy with Edge Lake as data remains in place there and it relates to the goal of interacting with data without centralization, and the workstream focuses on the application layer interface with the LM.

34:44 Edge Lake's Data Management and Federated Learning Initiatives

This section is about a product related to TikTok shop that can manage various data types. It brings cloud - based data services to the edge and creates a virtual layer for data interaction. The speaker also talks about how it fits into federated learning, running models at the edge and combining sub - models centrally. They lack AI experience but are collaborating with an AI company and students at a university in Santa Cruz to achieve federated learning on Edge Lake.

40:32 Updates on infrastructure, AI, use cases, and work streams in a project meeting

This section mainly focuses on infrastructure and AI. There are multiple alternatives for the AI side with the need for data integration. A complete automated process is desired. Edge Lake is in production environments with various use cases. Then there are updates on work stream 5, end - to - end support in surf side. Also, some individual tasks and problems like MVP for Shifu setup and TSC elections are mentioned.

46:11 Meeting discussion including workstreams, AI agent platform and open - source meetup announcements

This section involves discussions about work streams, with Tina Tsou making suggestions. There are also explanations regarding TSC members nomination issues related to data access from migrations. An AI Open Source meetup on October 21st at ByteDance's campus in San Jose is announced. There are also clarifications about the AI agent in different work streams, and Wilson Wang is encouraged to be more inclusive when working on the AI agent platform.
