NVidia’s yearly GTC (GPU Technology Conference) started last Monday, March 16, in San Jose, California, with a 3 hour keynote by NVidia CEO Jensen Huang. What is the GTC? In NVidia’s words “It’s a large in‑person and virtual event branded as “the premier global AI conference,” with keynotes, technical sessions, training, and an expo.” (https://www.nvidia.com/gtc/)
It’s a view to the future of all things related to NVidia’s business, like AI, robots, cars, etc. Peter Steinberger, the creator of OpenClaw, contributed directly to NVidia’s hardened and Enterprise-ready version: NemoClaw. Jensen Huang called OpenClaw “foundational infrastructure” and I completely agree! It brings the ability to tell your AI what you want on a schedule or on demand and have it carried out for you without you needing to watch or guide it. Unfortunately, both OpenClaw and NemoClaw require a fair amount of technical expertise to install and use but it won’t be long before a well-known and recognized company creates a version that can be installed and used by everyone.
Progress is being made toward that. Anthropic has introduced Claude Computer and has Claude Personal Computer in private beta (both of which may require a paid subscription). Claude Computer is Anthropic’s hosted cloud computer which Claude can use for asynchronous or longer running tasks (https://venturebeat.com/ai/claude-code-comes-to-web-and-mobile-letting-devs-launch-parallel-jobs-on).
Claude Personal Computer, on the other hand, is something you install on your computer (currently, only Mac), giving Claude access to the entirety of your computer and even other devices on your internal network. It’s currently in closed beta but you can sign up for the wait-list at https://www.perplexity.ai/personal-computer-waitlist.
The Genesis of ZeroCadence
Back in 2003 I started a blog that was intended to be a collection of short posts. Mostly for me but ideally useful to others, it was a collection of short posts highlighting or discussing a single topic. This newsletter is the evolution of that concept — short posts highlighting what I consider to be interesting and worthwhile tech news items.
This newsletter will always be free but if you like it and you want to show your appreciation, you can buy me a coffee for as little as $1, the suggested $3. or any amount you think appropriate.
