The next wave of AI: Open source, robotics & the future of India’s tech powerhouse
summary
Panel argues open-source already reaches parity with closed models, citing Llama 4.1: 93.4 vs closed 94.3 and smaller models like Llama 3.1 70B solving practical needs; recommends starting small, designing for observability, and keeping humans in the loop. Practical builds include a calendar-to-prep pipeline, widespread vibe coding adoption, and production vector DBs using vector DB similarity cones for anomaly detection. Robotics work focuses on small LLMs + hybrid inferencing and memory management for edge deployment.
