VRM Day 2024a

About VRM Day 2024a

Since personal AI may finally be what pushes VRM into becoming a Real Thing, we are making it the main focus of our next VRM Day. (Of course, everyone with something VRM-related to show and talk about is also welcome, whether or not it’s about personal AI.)

As always, VRM Day will precede IIW in the same location: the Boole Room of the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, just off Highway 101 in the heart of Silicon Valley. It’ll be on Monday, 15 April, and start at 9am. There ample parking because the museum is officially closed on Mondays, but the door is open. We lunch outdoors (it’s always clear) at the sports bar on the other corner. And there is a Starbucks across the street as well.

By signing up here we have a good idea of head count. But it’s free whether you register here or not.

Zoom Chat - Afternoon Session

Dazza Greenwood (Apr 15, 2024, 3:37 PM) I have a question.

Michael Grossman | Factr (Apr 15, 2024, 3:38 PM) Dazza, put your virtual hand up, Doc sees that. Messages addressed to “Meeting Group Chat” will also appear in the meeting group chat in Team Chat

Doc (Apr 15, 2024, 3:42 PM) Sorry we couldn’t see the “room” when the speaker is sharing a window. Open now. Adrian is the next speaker.

Bry (Apr 15, 2024, 3:43 PM) Question to Sumit: What portable data structure is Genie based upon… Markdown, XML, or something else?

Doc (Apr 15, 2024, 3:44 PM) PDAP Session: https;//youtu.be/rXmirAuuTS8 Sumit Agarwal left Iain Henderson left Jamie Smith left

Dazza Greenwood (Apr 15, 2024, 3:49 PM) That last demo and discussion was splendid. But it seems to be missing many of the most promising unlocks available now - for the first time - with the more powerful gen AI models and perhaps some with well suited smaller models. celine takatsuno left Sergio Maldonado joined as a guest

Michael Grossman | Factr (Apr 15, 2024, 5:04 PM) Can you make me, or someone else host? So that the call doesn’t drop? Bill Wendel left
