quackd connects Laya decision models to robot adapters

Just a heads-up... I started building an open-source version of this AI <> Microduck use case that @romainhuet presented on the Dev Day stage already on August 28, before GPT-6 Astra even came out! Repeating, before GPT-6 Astra even came out! Anyway, the best thing about quackd is that it's an open-source CLI, which means no LLM vendor lock-in. Use @OpenAI, @AnthropicAI, @GeminiApp, @grok, or even local LLMs via @ollama or @vllm_project! Not only that, but quackd also supports VLAs and multiple decision LLMs (Jev by @typesafeai, Laya by @Nandakishorm1, Kev by @jaredpalmer). Plus, quackd has multiple robot adapters, which means robots can engage with each other as well to achieve a given goal. Can you imagine a @MicroDuckNVDA asking a @LeRobotHF SO-101 to hand it something from the table, drop it on the floor (not a glass, though), then Microduck picks it up with the beak and brings it to you? quackd is on a mission that PERFECTLY aligns with what Hugging Face is all about. I just need a real Microduck now that they have a few more in the France office to test quackd IRL. I'm even willing to fly from Slovenia to France to test it in their office under their terms! PS: I tried to contact @huggingface and @pollenrobotics multiple times over the past month to give me a chance, but no success so far. :( @Thom_Wolf @ClementDelangue @julien_c @jeffboudier @RemiFabreRobot @antoinepirrone @matth_lapeyre @RouanetPierre @darkseed
