AI, MLOps, and Robotics #46

This Week in AI, MLOps, and Robotics: How not to be "stupid: about AI, Apple running AI on hardware, seniors fight loneliness with robots, Video and image generation got wild with Midjournety v6, Stable Video Diffusion and Google VideoPoet, and much AI news more!

??? Join my next live event on LLMOps:

I'm doing a fireside chat with Yujian Tang at Zilliz to talk about the essential role of vector databases in LLMOps. RSVP to attend live and get the recording. ??
