Demystifying the LLM Training with the Fully Open-Source Moxin 7B Model
Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have undergone a significant transformation, marked by a rapid rise in both their popularity and capabilities. Open-source LLMs, such as LLaMA and Mistral, have made great contributions to the ever-increasing popularity of LLMs due to the ease to customize and deploy the models across various applications. Although LLMs offer unprecedented opportunities for research and innovation, its commercialization has raised concerns about transparency, reproducibility, and safety. Many open LLM models lack the necessary components (such as training code and data) for full understanding and reproducibility, and some use restrictive licenses whilst claiming to be “open-source”, which may hinder further innovations on LLMs. To mitigate this issue, we follow the Model Openness Framework (MOF), a ranked classification system that rates machine learning models based on their completeness and openness, following principles of open science, open source, open data, and open access. We present a truly open source LLM Moxin 7B and release pre-training code and configurations, training and fine-tuning data, and intermediate and final checkpoints, aiming to make continuous commitments to fully open-source LLMs.

Open World Embodied Large Models
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated potential in visual instruction following across various tasks. Recently, some studies have integrated MLLMs into robotic manipulation, allowing robots to interpret multimodal information and predict low-level actions. While MLLM-based policies have shown promising progress, they may predict failure execution poses when faced with novel tasks or categories. Given these challenges, we raise a question: “Can we develop an end-to-end robotic agent that not only possesses manipulation skills but also effectively corrects low-level failure actions?” Drawing inspiration from Daniel Kahneman's assertion that "human thinking is divided into a fast system and a slow system, which separately represent intuitive processes and more logical reasoning," we introduce a series of research works that mimic a human-like thinking paradigm to address the above question.

AIRSHIP: Empowering Intelligent Robots through Embodied AI, Stronger United, Yet Distinct.
AIRSHIP has been developed to tackle the problem of software complexity in embodied AI. Its mission is to provide an easy-to-deploy software stack that empowers a wide variety of intelligent robots, thereby facilitating scalability and accelerating the commercialization of the embodied AI sector. AIRSHIP takes inspiration from Android, which played a crucial role in the mobile computing revolution by offering an open-source, flexible platform. Android enabled a wide range of device manufacturers to create smartphones and tablets at different price points, sparking rapid innovation and competition. This led to the widespread availability of affordable and powerful mobile devices. Android's robust ecosystem, supported by a vast library of apps through the Google Play Store, allowed developers to reach a global audience, significantly advancing mobile technology adoption. Similar to Android, AIRSHIP offers both software and hardware specifications, enabling robotic builders to develop complete embodied AI systems for a range of scenarios, including home, retail, and warehouse environments.

The Global Acceptance Network: Implementing Decentralized Digital Trust Infrastructure at Scale
The Global Acceptance Network (GAN) is a new layer of digital public infrastructure for the Internet — comparable in some ways to the Internet’s current Domain Name System (DNS). The GAN will enable people, organizations, and “things” (e.g., devices, software, AI bots) to form and maintain sustainable digital trust relationships using open standard digital wallets, digital credentials, and trust registries. This new utility is designed to address many of the current ills of the Internet, including spam, phishing, fraud, malware, ransomware, and other persistent security, privacy, and trust issues that have plagued the Internet because its original design did not include this trust layer.

OminiX: Towards Unified Library and Acceleration Framework for Generative AI Models on Different Hardware Platforms
In the generative AI era, general users need to apply different base models, finetuned checkpoints, and LoRAs. Also the data privacy and real-time requirement will favor on-device, local deployment of large-scale generative AI models. It is desirable to develop a "plug-and-play" framework such that users can download any generative AI model, click and run on their own device. This poses significant challenge to the current AI deployment frameworks, which are typically time-consuming and requires human expertise of hardware and code generation. We present our effort of OminiX, which is a first step towards unified library and acceleartion of generative AI models across various hardware platforms. Integrating our unique front-end library and back-end instantaneous acceleration techniques, which will be open-source soon, we show capability of plug-and-play deployment and state-of-the-art acceleration of various generative AI models, starting from image generation, large language models, multi-model language models, speech generation and voice cloning, real-time chatting engine, real-time translation, video generation, real-time avatar, to name a few.
