RT @kwindla: This robot assistant from the NVIDIA CES Keynote on Monday is going viral.

@NaderLikeLadder explains all the hottest emerging AI trends in one demo: AI applications in 2026 will be multi-model, multi-modal, hybrid cloud/local, use open source models as well as proprietary models, control robots and embedded devices in the physical world, and have voice interfaces. (And the demo had a cute robot *and* a cute dog. Gold.)

The demo was built with @pipecat_ai. NVIDIA posted a really nice technical walk-through and complete code. The Reachy Mini robot from @huggingface is open source hardware. (You can order it now, I have one!). You can run the assistant locally on your own hardware, in the cloud, or both.
