The new model is GA today:

Source code is here:

My favorite thing about this demo is that it's a really nice example of composite function calling.

Here are the function definitions. Gemini figures out solely from the argument descriptions how to find a conversation from "a few minutes ago"!

The Pion community is vibrant and welcoming, and Sean also wrote the definitive guide to WebRTC, "WebRTC For The Curious."

If you're interested in diving into WebRTC, read Sean's guide and check out the Pion code and forums.

We talked about:
- WebRTC history.
- Why you probably need to use WebRTC instead of WebSockets for your voice AI application
- How we see things evolving for WebRTC x multimodal AI
- Embedded WebRTC, telephony, and surprising use cases.

Usually, when you work on a system like this, you never manage to write up all the lessons learned even for your own use, much less publish them in such an accessible paper. Kudos to the DeepSeek team.

Writing really, really optimized distributed systems code is very satisfying. I've written a lot of both GPU code and networking code over the years, so the overlap here makes me particularly happy!

But my favorite, favorite part is that they also wrote a section, "Suggestions on Hardware Design."

It would be fun to see this code, though the actual implementation itself is tightly coupled enough to the architecture of the H800 and their cluster design — the specifics of the NVLink and InfiniBand — that it wouldn't be useful as an open source building block.

I listen to a fair amount of bluegrass, and alt country that overlaps with bluegrass, and I love a lot of mainstream country that overlaps with alt country!

Also, of course, the hip-hop and r&b of my youth, and hip-hop and r&b today that reminds me of the hip-hop and r&b of my youth.
