“webAI’s distributed AI platform ensures that computations occur directly on users' phones, giving them full control over their health data while maintaining AI sophistication”

"The M4’s powerful 16-core neural engine isn’t just for Apple’s AI tools. In one case, we switched to?Companion from webAI, a large language model with 22 billion parameters, and, using the App Intents Framework that connects third-party apps to Apple Intelligence capabilities, started entering prompts about a document we had open. Companion answered the prompts and even opened the native Mail app to send a report."

We are proud to support Austin4America as they advocate for innovation and fair competition in the tech ecosystem. At webAI, we're building technology that respects privacy and puts control back in users' hands - values aligned with their mission. Looking forward to connecting with fellow innovators March 6-7 in Austin! Get your free tickets: https://lnkd.in/gsiTHmvw

AITX x webAI hackathon is a wrap. Jake O'Shea and Michael Daigler did an incredible job on this one. Huge thanks to all sponsors but biggest thanks to webAI for putting so much effort into supporting local AI efforts.

Had an amazing time at the hackathon in Austin yesterday, hosted by Antler, webAI and AITX! My team built a 3D-powered AI generator that transforms chemistry concepts into interactive educational visuals—just from a simple prompt. Exciting to see how AI can make learning more engaging! I just recently started jumping into working with programming on top of LLMs, so it was a cool experience and met some smart people. #ai #threejs #python

This weekend's webAI x AITX hackathon in Austin was intense! So proud of my team – we won the ? Community Choice ? award for our voice-first AI design studio ??? SIGA: Speak It, Generate Anything ??? Try it out at www.siga.design With only ~24 hours to build, we put the pedal to the metal. Eddie H., Andrew Suther, Claire Dubiel and I pulled together repos, models, and tools from across the open/closed source AI ecosystem to launch a *voice-native* platform for generating and editing art with AI in realtime. We even built a brand identity for SIGA and a product positioning deck too. ?????? ???? ?????????? The SIGA agent comes equipped with a library of tools that let you make art by speaking, and you can even control the app itself by speaking. Try saying "generate me an image of the Austin Texas city skyline", and then say "replace the skyline with rocket ships". You may need to be a little patient as we spun this up on budget GPUs for the hackathon :') The base image generation model under the hood is Flux Dev from Black Forest Labs, which is also pretty decent at text generation... There's a lot you can do with SIGA and your imagination. ?????? ??????????-??????????? From an accessibility standpoint, SIGA helps make AI image creation accessible to people who may not be able to type. It also aligns with a rising trend in voice assistant usage in the US (~50% of Americans will use voice assistants daily by next year). Anyone who prefers to be voice-first instead of typing will also enjoy using SIGA to get creative. ???????????? ???????? 24 hours is a tight turnaround, but this team did a LOT. In the future it would be cool to extend SIGA for speech-to-video/music/UI, and even connecting what users create into a e-commerce pipeline for shirts, posters, etc. ?????????????? ???????????? Thanks to everyone who voted for SIGA, and a huge thanks to Jake O'Shea and Michael Daigler for the massive effort and energy to make these events happen, and the event sponsors at WebAI, Groq, Meta, Toolhouse, Supply Pay, and LoopMessage. See you at the next Austin hackathon ;)
