"Imagine your own personal Jarvis accessible from any connected device whether it’s a pair of earbuds, smart glasses, smartphone, or notebook. These devices will be constantly feeding sensor data to an agent. "

Nice hook, but 'my own personal jarvis' is not on offer anywhere. It's big tech's version, so a comparison with Ultron would be a bit closer to the truth.

This is a great illustration of how it could have been cool, but privacy, ownership and control matter....

Your own Jarvis is starting to be increasingly possible if you're into self hosting. Of course nobody is getting rich off that so they don't advertise it. Oh and latency is still a bit of an issue. The "thinking" phase of an agent doesn't generate output that's directly useful to your question so it's not shown by default what's going on.

And now this whole ordeal has got me wanting to watch the Iron Man movies

Fair point on the self hosting potential, but lets me honest the apicy autocomplete they are calling ai is way too unreliable to be any kind of useful like jarvis was presented to be.

With tool calls and RAG and whatever, they're significantly more capable now. Even a small self hosted model can do more than gpt before it got those abilities.

If you wire up access via tools or MCPs, your personal Jarvis could do tons of things. It won't be actually intelligent but it'll fool you. Response times are atrocious on current hardware though. Jarvis had a response right away

Now I want to see an Ironman parody, where Tony Stark becomes addicted to Jarvis and suffers from AI psychosis.
