Post the best Open Source AI inventions

[Jannes]

The future is very unclear. We could potentially have an AI utopia where AI does most of the work and we all have nice living standards. But that is nothing that big companies will give away for free. It has to be fought for in some way. I feel like to get somewhat of a sense of how things will turn out it is important to get a perspective of how powerful the players aka big companies vs average citizen are because unchecked power gets abused. So its about comparing your chatgpt and Tesla bot with Open Source AI and bots.

 

This robot can be mostly 3d printed and costs about 5k to make:

// What I find interesting is that the humanoid robots are very cool and a strong representation of power but in reality they arent really needed. For most simple repedetive tasts simple robots are actually better because they are cheaper.

 

Deep Seek from china is fully open source and seems to be the strongest open source language model there is so far:

What would be absolutely game changing for open source AI robotics would be a "central nervous system" like AI. 

The central nervous system manifests in humans in all kinds of unconscious ways: When you gain weight or put on a backpack for example your central nervous system adjusts in real time, calculating new balance standards and creating new strategies to move optimally. If you loose one of your legs and use a stick for balance your whole body learns to use new strategies. You can get your tongue can in half and then move each part seperately! 

Well AI is way more adjustable then a human body of course. You can change legs, arms, make it a spider, make it a drone, make it a dog. What would be cool especially for private people who want to built their own robots if you could have this central nervous system AI which will adjust in real time to the new body that it has gotten. If you got a very powerful central nervous system AI you could make almost anything work. Just put the central nervous system AI in the center and slap some machinery on it and the central nervous system will carry. That would be a strong answer to industrial designed robots. 

There are already a few projects working on this.
