Building software & AI products in China ๐จ๐ณ
Exploring AI, robotics, programming & emerging technologies.
Sharing lessons from building tech for Africa ๐
Few months ago I tried to control a Lekiwi + lerobot based robot through agentic system. I used small llm that act as the brain of the robot. It receive audio input, interpret and decide what actions to take.
It was a very interesting experience.

Weโre entering a new era of software development.
AI agents can now:
Explore entire codebases.
Write and modify multiple files.
Run tests and fix errors.
Interact with development tools.
Execute complex tasks autonomously.
@ahamam101 AI agents made AI hallucinations reduced too much. We can never get totally rid of AI hallucinations with current LLMs architecture. But it is better now than early 2022.
The real engineering challenge is knowing when to use:
A local model.
An open-weight model.
A commercial API.
A hybrid architecture.
The smartest AI solution isnโt necessarily the biggest model. Itโs the one that solves the problem efficiently.
Not every startup needs an expensive AI infrastructure.
Sometimes a smaller, optimized model running on your own server is more practical than calling a massive model through an expensive API.
AI in a chatbot is impressive.
But AI inside a physical robot that can perceive its environment, make decisions and perform real-world tasks?
Thatโs a completely different level.
Something Iโve noticed about beginners learning programming today:
Many want to build complete applications with AI before understanding variables, functions, APIs, databases or debugging.
AI can accelerate your learning, but it can also hide your knowledge gaps.
Donโt just learn how to make things work.
Learn why they work.

Something that worries me about the AI coding revolution:
Developers can now generate thousands of lines of code without fully understanding what theyโre deploying.
But who checks:
Authentication vulnerabilities?
Data exposure?
SQL injection?
Insecure API endpoints?
Poor permission management?
AI-generated code isnโt automatically production-ready.
Speed is impressive. Security is non-negotiable.
