watching two people vague tweet about each other in their priv’s circles on twitter is so wild

the demons possessed me so here’s a short drabble based on @idioddyssey and I’s fanlife characters reuniting in the afterlife <3

——————————————

A pair of dull, red eyes stare at the ruined remains of a home she once considered a safe haven. The front door has been blown clean off, the walls now rumbled remains in the grass, terracotta spilling into the water below. Part of the ceiling has been torn away, singed from the blast of the End Crystal. Their chests are damaged, items spilling onto the floor. And the floorboards are burned or have been blown up into pieces.

Looking at the remains of their home, Minnie’s heart is in her throat. Her eyes fill with tears, and grief settles in her chest. She clenches her fists as she stands on the edge of the pond, standing right at her grave, the place she loved and lost. The place where she screamed to see her partner until her throat went raw and TNT rained down on her head.

She can still see the crater in the sand.

Fresh tears well up in her eyes and she sniffles.

“I figured I’d find you here,” a voice says behind her, and Minnie whirls around. Behind her is her partner, her love, her life. And Cerenci looks at her, lips quirking up in a little smile when she notices that she has Minnie’s attention. “Hello, darling.”

The moment her eyes meet Cerenci’s soft magenta ones, she breaks.

A sob rips itself from her throat, and she’s throwing herself at the other. She wraps her arms tight around her partner, the tears rolling down her cheeks. “I’m sorry!” she cries out, “Cerenci I-I’m so sorry!”

“Min–”

Without giving Cerenci a chance to speak or even return her hug, Minnie pulls herself back and grips her by the shoulders, her fingers desperate as they cling to her. “I didn’t know!” she exclaims quickly, “I-I didn’t know they were going to do that, I didn’t want you to die! Not like that!” She stares at Cerenci’s eyes, her own wide and frantic and pained as her lips wobble and her body shakes from her cries. “I swear to you, Cerenci, I didn’t know!”

“I know, I trust you.” Cerenci’s voice breaks through Minnie’s tears, lifting a hand to wipe away some of Minnie’s tears. Her fingers move to brush a few stray strands of hair behind Minnie’s ear, the action gentle and comforting. “Don’t worry.”

Even with Cerenci’s hand in her hair, Minnie shakes her head, “No, no I am going to worry!” She sniffles loudly, shoulders still trembling. “I killed you! I-I had been trying so hard to ignore it, to deny those damn voices in my head and the bloodlust.” Her voice breaks as she speaks.

The moment replays in her mind, it has been replaying in her mind. Along with her final death. The rush of adrenaline. The weight of her axe in her hands. Cerenci’s voice echoing in her ears, “Are we doing this right now?!” She hadn’t expected to win. She was ready to die, but at least it would have been to the hands of her love. But she did. She killed Cerenci. And she hates the way that she could feel her blood croon and sing in pleasure. The way that the voices in her head cheered at the betrayal and she herself laughed.

The guilt had been immediate. A hollow feeling had settled over her, wrapping her in a thick blanket of remorse. Everything from that point on felt muffled, and she never quite got the taste of copper out of her mouth.

The realization of what she had done was enough to break her from the fog in her mind, but not quite. Even as she stood beside Cerenci, after apologizing and giving her those flowers and arrows, the ghosts had only demanded more from her. They screamed at her, wanting blood and a second betrayal and Minnie just didn’t have it in her. Not again. All she wanted was to collapse against Cerenci and hold her and cry until there were no tears left.

“You’re forgiven,” Cerenci says, her hand moving back down to Minnie’s cheek. She cups it, fingers kind and loving.

It makes Minnie’s heart break, and she feels like wailing. “You should’ve betrayed me,” she croaks.

“Oh, love.” Cerenci’s voice is gentle as she looks at Minnie, her gaze soft but empathetic. “Look at me, Minnie,” she commands firmly but still kind in the way she speaks. Raising her other hand, Cerenci holds Minnie’s face in her hands, “I spared you because of love and because it was worth lasting with you. Betraying you wasn’t on the table.”

What neither of them say is that it was expected. Minnie’s betrayal was something they both saw coming the moment she turned red. Even if they joked about it, and even if Minnie asked Cerenci to join her, they knew it would happen.

One can only ignore the voices for so long.

Minnie sniffles, whining in her throat as she stares at Cerenci’s loving expression before tucking her face into the crook of her neck. She wraps her arms around Cerenci, and it is relieving to finally hug her without the urge to stab her in the back. To hug her without blood rushing in her ears, to finally be rid of the taste of copper.

When she feels Cerenci press a kiss to her hair and arms snake around her, Minnie squeezes her eyes shut tightly and sinks into her embrace.

They stand there like that for who knows how long, no longer working with the ever present fear of turning the corner and meeting the end of someone’s weapon: enemy or ally. They stand there in each other’s arms, letting their hearts begin to heal without the fear of dying.

“‘Renci?” Minnie speaks up, not moving her head.

“Hmmm?” Cerenci hums, dragging her fingers up and down Minnie’s spine.

Lifting her head up to look at her partner, Minnie takes a soft breath. “Can we go home now?” she asks, something pleading.

Cerenci’s gaze softens, briefly flickering over to their ruined home before looking back at Minnie, and she nods. “Of course, hon.”

Separating, Minnie takes Cerenci’s hand in her own, and the two of them turn toward their home. It may be ruined, but it is theirs. They built it and made it their own, and it is a place of love. It is their final resting place.

And on the ground where they once stood, sitting on top of the grass, is a golden feather and a torn, blood covered bow. They are together.

Cerence’s CaLLM, Brings Advanced AI Features to Your Car

CaLLM- Cerence Automotive Large Language Model

AI integration is now essential to determining how driving experiences will develop in the future. The need for sophisticated driver assistance systems and user-friendly human-machine interfaces has increased as cars become more intelligent, networked machines.

Cerence, a leader in AI-powered mobility solutions globally, is redefining the in-car user experience by leveraging NVIDIA’s core competencies in cloud and edge technologies as part of its journey towards automotive intelligence.

The chief technology officer of Cerence, Iqbal Arshad, highlighted the topic in a recently, saying that, “The single biggest change that’s happening in the tech industry overall is generative AI.”

The creation of Cerence’s automotive-specific Cerence Automotive Large Language Model, or CaLLM, is the cornerstone of the company’s mission. It provides the framework for the business’s next-generation NVIDIA DRIVE in-car computing platform.

Cerence uses its automotive dataset and tech stack to offer an LLM-based platform that improves user experiences

NVIDIA technology, Cerence, AI for a world in motion, today unveiled CaLLM, a groundbreaking large language model designed specifically for automobiles. Operating on the NVIDIA DRIVE platform, Cerence’s next-generation in-car computing platform is built upon the CaLLM (Cerence Automotive Large Language Model). In order to give OEMs an advantage as drivers demand more sophisticated features and capabilities inside cars, Cerence is collaborating with NVIDIA to address a number of critical automaker challenges. These challenges include accelerating time to market by enabling new user experiences to be deployed via a cloud integration with both existing embedded systems and new generative AI-powered domains.

CaLLM satisfies a number of vital requirements as automakers and mobility OEMs seek to deploy generative AI and LLMs to enhance the user experience. With the help of Cerence’s vast automotive knowledge and its constantly improving automotive dataset, which contains billions of tokens, it possesses a unique level of automotive-specific intelligence that goes beyond what general knowledge LLMs can offer. Automakers can fully customise CaLLM through training, fine-tuning, and specific applications. It is uniquely capable of supporting automotive functions, features, and requirements. User customisation and integrated information retrieval for Cerence’s generative AI-powered apps, such as Cerence Car Knowledge, are among its features.

Using the NVIDIA AI foundry service, which comprises NVIDIA AI Foundation Models, NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, and NVIDIA accelerated computing, Cerence is developing CaLLM. Using NVIDIA DGX Cloud and NVIDIA DGX systems, Cerence will initially train CaLLM on its large dataset before developing the features needed for in-car user experiences. Second, Cerence will implement CaLLM in an NVIDIA-accelerated infrastructure with NVIDIA AI Enterprise, an end-to-end, cloud-native, secure software platform that speeds up LLM training, fine-tuning, and inferencing using the NVIDIA NeMo framework and the NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM optimisation library, in order to contribute to the achievement of an ultrafast user experience.

Chief Technology Officer of Cerence Iqbal Arshad stated, “NVIDIA are delivering a breakthrough in-car computing platform that leverages NIVIDIA’s vertical tech stack to allow users to complete tasks across applications through a unified conversational interface.” ” NIVIDIA’s unique dataset, close ties to manufacturers, and broad market penetration, when combined with NVIDIA’s industry-leading AI frameworks and platforms, enable us to lead with NIVIDIA’s groundbreaking automotive-specific LLM, CaLLM, and NIVIDIA’s own in-car computing platform. Looking ahead,NVIDIA envision leaders in other industries besides automotive benefiting from NIVIDIA’s exclusive architecture.

According to Ali Kani, Vice President of Automotive at NVIDIA, “new, intuitive, and personalised user experiences, capabilities, and features both inside and outside the car are expected to be enabled by generative AI and automotive LLMs.” “Cerence can more quickly train, scale, and deploy these models within their in-car user-experience platform to enable safer, smarter, and more enjoyable rides by leveraging NVIDIA’s core expertise in cloud and edge technologies.”

Cerence’s innovative in-car computing platform is built on top of CaLLM, which plays a crucial role in creating the cars of the future. This platform, which offers an integrated in-cabin experience, is the future of in-car engagement. It is specifically designed for cars and mobility. Cerence’s new platform integrates all aspects of a user’s interaction into a smooth and user-friendly conversational interface, in contrast to previous solutions that required multi-step interactions to take place as distinct, separate steps, leading to an excessive number of manual interactions and a high cognitive load for the driver.

Through the redesigning of their current applications within the conversational interface and the provision of new generative AI-powered services, Cerence’s new platform will facilitate seamless transitions for OEMs.

With an assistant designed specifically for cars and mobility that offers an integrated in-cabin experience, the platform, which was revealed in December, represents the future of in-car contact.

” NVIDIA possess datasets spanning the previous two decades of experience in the automotive industry,” Iqbal stated. “And Nvidia can use that data to create an LLM that is ready for an automobile.”

Is Generative AI Changing the Automotive Industry?

The way drivers communicate with their cars is being revolutionised by generative AI, which makes it possible for automobiles to understand and respond to human language with astonishing accuracy.

Generative AI creates a world of possibilities for improving driving experiences, such as starting voice requests for navigation, operating infotainment systems, and even having natural language conversations.

Cerence is working to equip cars with the mental faculties required to help drivers navigate their daily lives more easily.

The organisation makes use of NVIDIA DGX Cloud on Microsoft Azure, which offers scalable and dedicated access to the most recent NVIDIA architecture. This architecture is co-engineered with Microsoft Azure at every layer and is optimised for optimal performance in AI workload training. Cerence delivers real-time performance with the aid of NVIDIA’s inferencing technology, enabling seamless user experiences.

According to Cerence, intelligent driving will usher in a day when cars would not only serve as means of transportation but also as dependable travelling companions.

Iqbal predicted that “generative computing will change your in-car experience.”

Driving will eventually become a more connected, personalised, and safe experience for all thanks to generative AI.
