What makes an image effective for marketing is subtle, and we’ve found that general-purpose vision-language models often miss the cues practitioners care about. In this talk, we present MarketingGenie, a domain-specialized VLM trained on ~20K marketing images annotated by experts […]

Coding agents are usually built as cloud-first abstractions. But for developing trustworthy, production-ready edge systems, we’ve found that coding agents should be designed from the edge outward—where privacy, bandwidth and real-time requirements are real constraints. In this talk, we’ll show […]
Social isolation among older adults is a burgeoning health and economic crisis. While traditional voice assistants wait for a command, ElliQ bridges the gap between technology and genuine human connection by shifting from reactive utility to proactive companionship. At the […]
Through leading three deep-tech start-ups to exits, I received a lot of advice and insights from venture investors, co-founders, customers and other tech entrepreneurs. I have always been fascinated by the success and failure stories of businesses in general, and […]
Scaling physical AI breaks at production: prototypes work, then teams rewrite everything for incompatible SDKs, models and control stacks. The core issue is a clash between high-throughput AI and deterministic real‑time control, forcing tradeoffs or fragile handoffs, and turning 90% […]

Generative AI has accelerated the automation of complex digital tasks, and now multimodal perception and reasoning make embodied AI the next frontier. This shift brings adaptive reasoning into the physical realm, enabling natural interaction between humans and intelligent machines, from […]
As small language and multimodal models improve, a practical question is emerging for product teams: have we hit a “good enough” quality threshold for embeddable AI, and what are the lowest-cost SoCs that can actually run these models end-to-end? In […]

Physical AI is caught between two computational titans: autoregressive (AR) transformers, which predict discrete action tokens, and diffusion transformers (DiTs), which refine continuous motion trajectories. Both architectures face a “memory wall,” but for different reasons: AR is bottlenecked by the […]
Humanoid robots have unique perception and compute requirements relative to other robots due to their dynamic stability, dexterity and need to operate safely in human-centric spaces. In this talk, we examine the sensing and compute challenges unique to humanoids. We’ll […]
Deep learning has transformed many aspects of computer vision, including object detection, enabling accurate and efficient identification of objects in images and videos. However, choosing the right deep neural network-based object detector for your project, particularly when deploying on lightweight […]
