Auki community update recap: May 9, 2025

Conference Countdown and Tech Updates

This week's community update focused on upcoming events, technical developments, and an open discussion about recent advancements on our network.

Preparing for major events

With just one month until AWE (Augmented World Expo) in Long Beach, California, excitement is building. We will have a prominent presence as a top sponsor and we'll be right at the entrance to the exhibition hall, showcasing developments in XR and robotics alongside Mentra's new smart glasses. Tickets are still available for community members—reach out if you'd like to attend!

Shortly after AWE, we'll be participating at SuperAI in Singapore and later at RAISE Summit in Paris, where our CEO Nils Pihl will share the stage with industry leaders like Intel's CEO to discuss physical AI.

Tech demos and product updates

This week's internal demo day highlighted improvements allowing apps connected to the Auki network, such as Gotu, to publish real-time location data within digital twins. This feature supports personal data monetization and promotes user control over information.

We also showcased collaboration with robot manufacturers, including updates from Padbot and EngineAI. Padbot will directly support our presence at upcoming conferences, while EngineAI's robot—which famously performed dance routines and acrobatic stunts—may soon join us if delivered on schedule.

Mentra Smart Glasses

Continuing our partnership with Mentra, we'll feature their lightweight (40 grams), all-day wearable smart glasses at AWE. These glasses aim to improve communication by embedding simple yet practical AR capabilities, like placing shared text in physical spaces, an approach we believe addresses mainstream usability more effectively than complex gaming headsets.

Decentralized Compute and Privacy

Our GitHub discussions around decentralized compute have intensified. Specifically, we're exploring ways to allow community-operated nodes to perform spatial reconstruction tasks, enhancing efficiency and privacy. This system would distribute data processing across multiple nodes, providing privacy advantages and making short-term GPU resource rentals viable for the first time.

Community Engagement and Future Plans

We continue encouraging community engagement through GitHub, inviting input on development discussions and network improvements. Additionally, minor updates to the Relay and Domain servers were released addressing security and improving external monitoring capabilities.

About Auki

Auki is making the physical world accessible to AI by building the real world web: a way for robots and digital devices like smart glasses and phones to browse, navigate, and search physical locations.

70% of the world economy is still tied to physical locations and labor, so making the physical world accessible to AI represents a 3X increase in the TAM of AI in general. Auki's goal is to become the decentralized nervous system of AI in the physical world, providing collaborative spatial reasoning for the next 100bn devices on Earth and beyond.
