Alan Zhu(@alanzhuly):We brought two things to @PyTorch Conference. At the @Qualcomm booth, we demoed GenieX, the open-source Gen AI runtime my team builds, running @liquidai's LFM-VL on @Innodisk_Corp's Dragonwing IQ9. It watched a live camera feed and described what it saw, all on the device. Multimodal is the workload moving on-device in production. Small VLMs are good enough now for most of what a camera needs to understand, and you don't pay per frame or wait on the network. We also ran a hands-on workshop with @awscloud : fine-tune on SageMaker, then run the model locally with GenieX. Most questions were some version of "how do I get my own model running on my own hardware?" That's sovereign AI at developer scale, and it's exactly what GenieX is for.
