As a developer, it was a great honor to attend the NVIDIA Developer Meet-up held in Taiwan today. The Meet-up was packed with valuable content, featuring renowned professors from academia and entrepreneurs from startups who shared their precious experiences and knowledge.

One of the most exciting moments for me was finally meeting Professor Hung-Yi Lee from National Taiwan University and listening to his live lecture. Several years ago, while pursuing my Master's degree in the UK, I watched his YouTube channel sharing content on machine learning and deep learning. Today's live lecture showcased his consistently engaging and interesting style, explaining extremely complex and profound AI principles in the most easy-to-understand manner, which was greatly beneficial.

Besides that, I also had the honor of listening to a talk by Professor Tzong-Han Tsai from Academia Sinica. Right from the start, he shared a music song created using LLM, with very interesting lyrics and melody, instantly shaking vibe up.

Of course, I also learned from other speakers who generously shared the architectures they designed using NVIDIA software, along with some interesting business ideas and perspectives.

Furthermore, I was delighted to see NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang again, this time standing on stage, sharing some advice to the developers present. I could feel his sincere hope that Taiwan does not only focus on hardware but also keep pace with AI in the software field this time. He specifically emphasized "No Excuse!" several times. 😂

Finally, I am truly thankful to NVIDIA for hosting this AI Summit event for developers, willing to spend so much money and manpower to organize these kinds of events, which is highly admirable.

I also want to thank Wei Jing (William) Wong for his outstanding assistance in hosting this event and his perfect control of the meetup flow. Additionally, I am grateful to Solomon AI and 3D Vision for giving me the opportunity to participate in this event.
