Labs Weekly Catchup #1

Our first weekly catchup. We organize an agenda the day beforehand and consolidate our findings, notable research progress, possibly new tech, insight or technique everyone should know.

Agenda:

Among the topics we will cover, there will be a short topic discussion and demonstration on AI Realtime memory knowledge updates by Tom. this will include:

• New approaches to memory consolidation
• A small preview demo of what it looks like

Output:

• Understand the research progress and passions of the labs team
• Understand any shortcomings or things to improve for the next weekly catchup

Notes from the catchup

🧠 AI - Realtime Memory

• LLMs are now using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) for context and updates.
• Realtime memory is another step into optimizing new data into an LLM’s intuition through more unique base prompting.
• Challenges like token limits are being addressed with fewer steps and unique base prompting.

🕹️ Rust Game Server on Actix

• Significant progress on the Rust game server built on Actix.
• @khacvy also demoed a short multiplayer shooter game. 👾
• Exploring Tokio as an alternative framework to see cost benefits between it and Actix.
• Documentation gaps identified, considering better tooling for a smoother development experience.

🎨 Mochi UI Practices

• Focus on standardization across Figma designs, component naming, and usability.
• Practices and our open-source standard are mostly finished, with us hosting a workshop at Thursday, December 14, 2023 400 PM.

🌐 WebStudio - Emerging Tech

• WebStudio, an open-source low-code helper for building websites similar to WebFlow.
• Utilizes immerhin for large tree synchronization and real-time collaboration.

🌟 Potential Standards

• JSON patches (RFC 6902) and design tokens (W3C standard) introduced by WebStudio.
• JSON patches for lightweight changes to JSON documents.
• Design tokens for consistent visual style in design systems.
