ngxson · x · 2026-07-25
At WAIC 2026 in Shanghai, the author says robotics was everywhere and the event made the case for low-latency edge AI even stronger.
He gave two llama.cpp talks: one at the main event hosted by FlagOS/BAAI, and another at a smaller meetup with robotics company Dexmal.
Main takeaways
- WAIC was packed with robot demos and stage shows.
- His talks focused on running llama.cpp efficiently on local hardware.
- The goal was to deploy multimodal AI agents fully on-device.
- Replays will be published later.
