Key Quotes:
“This is seriously the most exciting time in edge device management that I've ever witnessed. And I've been in edge device management for three decades.”
“You have this offline capability that understands and can control all of your device behavior and can understand your intent or your natural language request. And it's going to completely change the paradigm of how our devices operate. It's going to change how we interact with them. It's going to be huge and it's going to be fast.”
“Large action models… can be seen as an extension of a language model. It's the ability to take a set of inputs and use those inputs to create a trigger and that trigger can perform an action against something.”
