Gecko Robotics argues purpose-built robots, not humanoids, are vital for protecting critical infrastructure like power plants and refineries.
Jake Loosararian says industrial AI needs deterministic data, as an AI hallucination in a refinery can cause lethal explosions.
The industrial AI boom highlights a desperate need for high-fidelity data sets that do not hallucinate in physical environments.
Chris Lattner notes a deployment crisis where hardware silos from Nvidia, Apple, and AMD fragment the AI ecosystem.
Lattner describes current AI infrastructure as 'duct tape and bailing wire' due to proprietary, closed software stacks from chipmakers.
Modular is building a layer to replace CUDA, aiming to let models run portably across devices from Mac Studios to data centers.
The future of AI hinges on bridging smart models with reliable hardware and physical systems where errors have real consequences.
