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 Labs

Auki is building the Auki network, a decentralized machine perception network for the next 100 billion people, devices and AI on Earth and beyond. The Auki network is a posemesh, an external and collaborative sense of space that machines and AI can use to understand the physical world.

Our mission is to improve civilization’s intercognitive capacity; our ability to think, experience and solve problems together with each other and AI. The greatest way to extend human reach is to collaborate with others. We are building consciousness-expanding technology to reduce the friction of communication and bridge minds.

About the Auki network

The Auki network is a posemesh: a decentralized machine perception network and collaborative spatial computing protocol, designed to allow digital devices to securely and privately exchange spatial data and computing power to form a shared understanding of the physical world.

The Auki network is an open-source protocol that powers a decentralized, blockchain-based spatial computing network. Designed for a future where spatial computing is both collaborative and privacy-preserving, it limits any organization's surveillance capabilities and encourages sovereign ownership of private maps of personal and public spaces.

The decentralization also offers a competitive advantage, especially in shared spatial computing sessions, AR for example, where low latency is crucial.
