Facebook Connect is what used to be called Oculus Connect. Kinda their equivalent of Apple's WWDC, I guess. It's when and where the Quest 3 will be officially unveiled in full, for example.
Yep - here is the site: https://www.metaconnect.com/en/home
Readit NewsDoes anyone have a good explanation for Meta's strategy with AI?
The only thing I've been able to think is they're trying to commoditize this new category before Microsoft and Google can lock it in, but where to from there? Is it just to block the others from a new revenue source, or do they have a longer game they're playing?
If you watch the Connect talks, I'll be speaking about this..

It's really awesome to finally see this landed. Congrats to the team and to the PyTorch community!
If PyTorch had something like TensorFlow Lite, TF would probably be dead already. I certainly wouldn't need it. At the moment, though, TFLite is the most sane option for inference on phones and other ARM devices.
PyTorch Mobile is a start and is available for iOS and Android. Given folks like PFN and Microsoft are (or will be heavy contributors) i would expect support for more devices to broaden. Have you tried it out yet? No need for a separate set of op semantics or framework.. :) https://pytorch.org/mobile/home/
Yup. Google gave us TPU usage for free and we gave up on using it.
Also, everything you think or do is deprecated. This comment has been deprecated.
We have been working with G on TPU support for PyTorch. Have you tried it out? https://github.com/pytorch/xla
There seem to be opportunities for people to use technology like SeamlessM4T to improve lives, if it were licensed correctly, and I don't see how any commercial offering from smaller companies would compete with anything that Meta does. Last I checked, Meta has never offered any kind of translation or transcription API that third parties can use.
Whisper is licensed more permissively and does a great job with speech to text in some languages, and it can translate to English only. However, it can't translate between a large number of languages, and it doesn't have any kind of text to speech or speech to speech capabilities. SeamlessM4T seems like it would be an all-around upgrade.
