  • On-device AI: Reimagining Fraud Prevention with lightweight Models
    Nov 23 2024

    The theme of this podcast episode originates from an interesting project by Google called Dobby. I spent an afternoon discussing with our software engineers, and we envisioned how to use on-device AI technology, especially lightweight models, to enhance the ability to prevent phone scams.

    We talked about the advantages of on-device AI technology, including real-time processing, resource constraints, and privacy protection.

    We explored the foundations of this technology, including model compression, dedicated hardware, and efficient architecture design.

    We proposed a three-layer architecture for an anti-fraud system, including quick filtering, proactive analysis, and an interactive engine, and explained in detail how each layer operates.

    Of course, while mentioning specific solutions, we are more interested in identifying the technical challenges and future research directions the system faces, such as latency issues, memory capacity, and adaptability.

    I am sharing this idea with you, whether you are a startup founder or an investor, I have highlighted the directions you should focus on.

  • The Evolution of Software Services: From Tools to Colleagues
    Nov 9 2024

    In this Episode 4, we explore the evolution of software services from tools to colleagues. I believe software services will become "Software as a Work" (SaaW) in the future. Starting with Salesforce's concept of "The End of Software" in 1999, we review the development journey from SaaS to SaaW, as well as the changes in technology, management, and organizational structure brought by SaaW. I believe that SaaW is not just a technological innovation but a revolution in human work methods that will reshape human-machine relationships and create a new world of human-machine collaboration. This content is based on my conversation with Mr. Yang, after which I wrote a long article: "The Evolution of Software Services: From Tools to Colleagues."

  • Remember : make the robot learning process more decent
    Oct 26 2024

    In this episode, we want to talk about a very interesting robot-related technology. It's a fascinating experiment. Driven purely by visual data, the robot relies on LLM, VLM, and RAG to achieve autonomous understanding and action. Without GPS, NFC, or radar, it can execute voice commands after visual learning and training.

    It is an advanced robotics technology called "remember" that NVIDIA is developing, which aims to give robots the ability to remember and understand the meaning of their experiences, similar to human memory. This technology involves using AI to create a detailed log of the robot's experience, so that it can understand the importance of its observations, not just visual data. The query system allows the robot to search for relevant information in its memory according to the user's query, such as locating items or suggesting places with beautiful vision.

    The potential applications of Remember are very wide, including improving elderly care, search and rescue operations, and enhancing daily interactions by allowing robots to predict human needs.

    Although the reliability, accuracy, and even moral problems of the technology are still very obvious, it does not prevent its interesting and shiny side.
