Summary
He noted the firm has the OVX computer that is meant to do simulation and graphic simulation physics engine, and it is used to synthesize and generate data. And this data is consumed by the DGX computer, which are used to train foundation models. And then it is deployed to the HX computer, which is the runtime on the edge for platforms like humanoid robots.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Tech meme right home for Tuesday, May 20th, 2025. I'm Brian McCullough today. |
| 0:08.6 | All the headlines from the Microsoft Build 2025 keynote. A whole slew of legislation that relates to tech is making its way through Congress. |
| 0:16.8 | Temu and Sheehan can't catch a break. |
| 0:19.0 | Nvidia is serious about using AI for robotics and how something called social sensitivity |
| 0:23.2 | can make autonomous cars even more safe. |
| 0:25.9 | Here's what you miss today in the world of tech. |
| 0:32.6 | They did this to me last year, I think, as well. |
| 0:35.1 | The Microsoft Build Conference kicked off yesterday, |
| 0:38.4 | and Google I.O. is today, so it's hard to cover both at the same time without short-changing one |
| 0:43.6 | or the other. So, we'll cover Build Today and I.O. tomorrow. Build first, beginning with, |
| 0:50.7 | Microsoft-owned GitHub debuting an AI coding agent for GitHub Copilot that can fix bugs, |
| 0:56.3 | add features, improve documentation, and more. And they are open-sourcing GitHub Copilot in VS |
| 1:02.5 | Code, quoting the verge. To complete its work, GitHub says the AI coding agent will automatically |
| 1:08.0 | boot a virtual machine, clone the repository, and analyze the codebase. |
| 1:11.9 | It also saves its changes as it works, while providing a rundown of its reasoning in session logs. |
| 1:16.8 | When it's finished, GitHub says the agent will tag you for review. |
| 1:20.2 | Developers can then leave comments that the agent will automatically address. |
| 1:23.3 | The agent also incorporates context from related issue or PR pool request discussions and follows any custom repository instructions, allowing it to understand both the intent behind the task and the coding standards of the project, GitHub says. |
| 1:37.6 | The new coding agent is available to co-pilot Enterprise and Copilot Pro Plus users through GitHub site, its mobile app, and the GitHub command line interface tool. |
| 1:46.7 | Microsoft also announced that its open sourcing GitHub copilot in Visual Studio Code, |
| 1:51.4 | which means developers will be able to build upon the tool's AI capabilities, end quote. |
| 1:56.6 | But that wasn't the end of the open source, and because Microsoft also open source the Windows |
