Progress, Not Just Promises

A live analysis of local inference, multi-modality, and risk.

On June 7, 2024, at The Astbury in Makati, we convened to address the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence. Occurring exactly one day after the global release of GPT-4o’s Voice feature, the event provided a real-time analysis of the industry’s newest capabilities. We moved beyond cloud-based theory to demonstrate local inference on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin AGX, proving that high-performance AI can function with absolute privacy and zero latency.

The discussion balanced enthusiasm with necessary caution. We dissected the operational risks of rapid adoption while exploring the immediate utility of multi-modal interfaces and Agentic Workflows. From the practical application of RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) to scalable image production, the session offered a comprehensive roadmap for navigating the shift from single-model experimentation to robust, team-based AI systems.

Progress passing its proclamation

On June 7, 2024, from 7 PM to 11 PM at 2 Orion St, Makati, an AI event showcased advancements in local inference with NVIDIA Jetson Orin AGX, multi-modality interfaces, and the risks of rapid AI adoption. It introduced 4omni, a free AI, and unveiled its latest feature, Voice, just a day after release. The event also covered AGI’s future, RAG opportunities, Agentic Workflows, and scalable image generation.

Discussion Topics​

The Risks of Moving Too Fast

Danger in unchecked velocity.

Innovation is critical, but velocity without governance creates fragility. We identified the specific pitfalls of jumping into AI projects without a strategic plan, distinguishing between meaningful progress and reckless adoption.

Pitfalls

Identifying failure points.

Strategy

Calculated adoption.

Safety

Operational guardrails.

Local Inference – Live!

NVIDIA Jetson Orin AGX demo.

We took the NVIDIA Jetson Orin AGX for a live test drive, demonstrating that powerful AI does not require a massive data center. The session highlighted the critical benefits of edge computing: lower latency, higher security, and zero reliance on internet connectivity.

Speed

Zero latency.

Privacy

Data stays local.

Hardware

Edge processing.

Multi-Modality

Integrating text, audio, and visual.

Modern interfaces now integrate multiple model types simultaneously. We unpacked why multi-modality—the ability for a system to see, hear, and speak—represents a fundamental shift in user interaction, moving beyond simple text prompts.

Integration

Unified inputs.

Perception

Visual understanding.

Interaction

Fluid interfaces.

The Promise of 4omni: AI for All

The free "Gigabrain" assistant.

We introduced 4omni, a “Gigabrain” assistant available to all walks of life, free of charge. This session analyzed the market implications of having flagship-level intelligence accessible to everyone, everywhere, immediately following its release.

Access

Democratized intelligence.

Utility

Everyday assistance.

Power

Flagship capability.

How to Learn and Do Anything

The competitive advantage of curiosity.

We discussed how pretending to be five years old acts as a catalyst for rapid upskilling. By adopting a mindset of relentless curiosity and asking simple questions, users can leverage AI to master complex topics faster than ever before.

Curiosity

Ask “why.”

Speed

Rapid learning.

Mindset

Fearless inquiry.

AGI Tomorrow, RAG Today

Focusing on current realities.

While AGI remains a future ambition, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) is the opportunity right now. We focused on the tangible value created when you ground AI models in your own reliable data to solve specific business problems.

Reality

Actionable tech.

Immediate value.

Immediate value.

Context

Grounded data.

Agentic Workflows & Team AI

Specialized systems working together.

We explored the architecture of Team AI: utilizing multiple specialized systems to collaborate on a single task. This approach produces superior, more robust outcomes compared to relying on a single generalist model.

Teams

Multiple agents.

Quality

Superior outcomes.

Robustness

Resilient systems.

The Opportunity in NLP

Unlocking value with language.

We celebrated the breakthrough in Natural Language Processing (NLP). The session covered the immense potential NLP offers for understanding human intent and structuring unstructured data without the need for complex code.

Language

Human-to-machine.

Potential

Unlocking data.

Breakthrough

Semantic understanding.

Image Generation at Scale

Deploying prompting primers.

Generating single images is simple; generating collections is a discipline. We covered prompting primers and deployment strategies to demonstrate how to produce cohesive collections of visual assets quickly and efficiently.

Speed

Fast collections.

Primers

Consistent inputs.

Scale

Volume production.
