It was an amazing event at the Swartz Center for Entrepreneurship a few nights ago as Samsung Next and Radical Ventures hosted an event exploring cutting-edge AI/ML topics, including #AI, agent/action models and synthetic data. Speakers included Tianqi Chen (OctoML), Matt Fredrikson (Gray Swan), Diane C., and Vyas Sekar (Rockfish Data) from Carnegie Mellon University. Thank you to everyone for attending and making it such a meaningful event!

Check out this amazing work that moss was able to accomplish while gaining their first international client! Keep up the great work Di Hu, Shrijit Singh, and Pravir Das! #startup #entrepreneurship
Recently, we paid an in-person visit to our first international client and collaborator—Waimea Nurseries Ltd in New Zealand! Massive thanks to Neil Davies and Stuart Rankin from the Waimea team for the warm welcome! During the trip, we collected valuable data from the nursery using both our prototype and ACER, experimenting with two new setups—one using a push cart and the other a pickup truck (or UTE, as they say in #NewZealand!). The data will be used to optimize our AI model's performance in Waimea's fields. Who would’ve thought we'd have such a blast and make so many great new friends in New Zealand? We're looking forward to continuing our work together and building a strong, long-lasting partnership. #ai #agtech #robotics #innovation #startup
