"A decade ago, we all — Hugging Face, AI builders , Betaworks, our co-investors, and the LPs that back us — made a bet on ambitious, open source AI. We never wavered in our conviction in this team or category, but this outcome is more than we could have imagined." 🎉 🤗

Very excited to announce next Tuesday (10/6) we’re taking over @Betaworks from 6-9pm for @OpheliaAPI Demo Night🗽 We’ve spent the last few weeks watching our customers build some genuinely impressive products with Ophelia. AI assistants making reservations, wearables ordering flights, our team truly believes AGI is only possible if consumer wins. Now we want to see what NYC can do. Bring something you’ve been hacking on, something actually useful, and hopefully unique. The winner will be chosen by audience AND receives: - Meta sunglasses - $500+ in AI credits from @Anthropic, @ChatGPT + Jev - A chance to pitch your product or startup directly to @Betaworks And yes there will be food, drinks, investors, and a lot of funnnnnn :) Come build :) RSVP luma.com/4tvsdkrj

10 years sure flies by when you're on the front line defending open source and open science 💪 🤗
Throwback to exactly 10 years ago today! with @ClementDelangue at @betaworks Demo Day 🔥 I have a bit more grey hair now (or for that matter, less hair...) but I think it was all worth it! @huggingface

This was our second major prototype at @inanimate_tech. It's a desk clock you talk to. When you talk to another person, you can tell whether you’ve caught their attention. Eye contact helps you know they’re listening. What might these cues look like in a physical device inhabited by an AI agent? Enter: TIME P1. This was our first prototype with a microphone. Our first device that you could prompt to change it's behaviour using just your voice. No keyboard or prototype web UI. Its small round screen let us experiment with that sense of attention, while its display and buttons gave the agent ways to respond to what we asked. Living with it also gave us room to discover what it could become. A request for a Tamagotchi ended up on the clock by accident, and the agent made it work using text and buttons. I started using it as a Pomodoro timer, hooked up to my task list on @BearNotesApp via MCP, counting completed tasks as I worked. These experiments are part of how we’re developing Promptable Products at Inanimate: exploring how agents translate intention into behaviour, and how these devices find a place in everyday life. This is Prototyping: "Why We Built a Desk Clock You Can Talk To."
