Beyond The Demo: Deploying And Evaluating Open-Source AI Workloads

By Odin Shen - 11 Jun, 2026 - Comments: 0

As more open-source AI models move closer to real-world adoption, developers are changing how they evaluate edge deployment. The question is no longer simply whether a model can run, but whether it can be deployed reproducibly on a concrete platform, observed in practice, and turned into meaningful deployment decisions based on actual technical evidence. For developers, the CIX Armv9 platfor... » read more

Rethinking Robotics Reinforcement Learning: A Practical Humanoid Training Workflow

By Odin Shen - 09 Apr, 2026 - Comments: 0

Reinforcement learning (RL) for robotics is often associated with large GPU clusters, distributed infrastructure, and x86-based development environments. Training a humanoid robot with high-fidelity simulation is a resource-intensive workflow that runs in the data center. What if that workflow could run on a single workstation? In this blog post, we explore a complete robotics pipeline bu... » read more

Cloud-based AI dominates the headlines, but responsive and private interaction lies at the edge. This blog post shows how to build a fully offline, real-time voice assistant using the Arm-based NVIDIA DGX Spark platform. The system integrates open-source components such as faster-whisper and vLLM. It delivers low-latency, human-like dialogue without sending data outside the local environment. ... » read more

Rethinking The Role Of CPUs In AI: A Practical RAG Implementation

By Odin Shen - 11 Dec, 2025 - Comments: 0

In many enterprise environments, engineers and technical staff need to find information quickly. They search internal documents such as hardware specifications, project manuals, and technical notes. These materials are often scattered, making traditional search inefficient. These documents are often confidential or proprietary. This constraint prevents these documents from being processed by... » read more
