Would you leave a Google Staff Research Engineer role just because you want your TV to automatically pause when you get up to get a cup of tea? Actually, how is that even relevant, you might ask. Let's see what Pete Warden, former Google Staff Research Engineer and now CEO and Founder of Useful Sensors, has to say about that.

Although naturally much of what he did was based off things others were already working on, Warden is sometimes credited as having kickstarted the TinyML subdomain of machine learning. Either way TinyML is getting big, and Warden is a big part of it.

Useful Sensors is Warden's latest venture. They just launched a product called AI in a Box, which they dubs an "offline, private, open source LLM for conversations and more". Even though it's not the first product Useful Sensors has created, it's the first one that's officially launched. That was a good opportunity to catch up with Warden and talk about what they are working on.
