For truly free access to frontier-level models, important for research and university, Chinese platforms are often the only practical option because they subsidize public demos and APIs. Western frontier models don’t offer sustained zero-cost access.

Most tech demos die in silence… not because the tech is bad, but because the impact isn’t clear. In my latest video, I show you how to shift the conversation from features to real business value—with one game-changing question and a four-step checklist you can use in any technical meeting. Watch now and learn how to: • Uncover the actual cost of failure • Translate specs into measurable payback • Get a clear next step on the calendar Don’t just explain your product—make them feel the impact.

Uncover system usage insights through terminal interaction—until a single command crashes the whole thing. Real-world enterprise environments demand more than just cool demos; you need robust infrastructure.

Most agent ideas sound impressive. Very few actually create value. This cheat sheet introduces a practical framework for evaluating agentic opportunities beyond demos and hype.

With local Al entering that phase of maturation, it's no longer about trying to impress users through flashy tech demos, but more about helping build habits around using these tools. And that's precisely why it's useful.

Check out this interesting use case for channel sounding Silicon Labs showcased at CES! It can be used to automatically map the location of devices in a room.

CES Demo Spotlight: Bluetooth Channel Sounding Chandana Daryani walks through our live demo showing how Bluetooth Channel Sounding on our xG24 platform can automatically map devices in a room. Not just distance, but real spatial awareness. Multiple nodes figure out where they are relative to each other and generate a live 2D map, reducing the need for manual commissioning and mapping. If you’re at #CES2026, come see our demos in action at the Silicon Labs Suite on Level 3 of the Venetian in Toscana 3710. https://lnkd.in/gdYJJcGa

Anyone can show flashy tech. Very few can run it consistently. Modern production isn’t impressed by demos — it depends on systems that hold up under pressure, tight schedules, and live decision-making. Reliability isn’t boring. It’s what lets ambitious ideas survive contact with reality. #ProductionTech #FilmInfrastructure #CobaltStages
