I tasked tiny language model to survive in my office
In this video, I resurrect a decade-old humanoid #robot, RAPIRO, and hook it up to currently THE smallest visual language models available: @HuggingFace SmolVLM. The task? Explore my office without crashing into stuff. It's a toy problem, sure—but it mirrors the future of embodied #AI.

More on that in future videos.
