During the ChainCulture day, I dropped by at the workshop hosted by @thebeedevs located at the 3rd floor.
Firstly, I took a closer look at the fully-synced Hive node @itsola was wearing on stage in her presentation.

Another one without the case, but still syncing.
These are Raspberry Pi 4 8GB running in pruned mode, they only store the chain state and maybe some recent blocks. Both nodes are running on WiFi network at the venue. This was made possible thanks to v1.28.0 release (it was a v1.27.12 RC at that time), specifically the comments archive where comment indexes were moved from shared_memory.bin to a RocksDB database to reduce memory usage.
Getting hived to compile and run successfully on ARM is a critical step to making it possible run Hive nodes on AS Macs and smartphones. Don't get too excited yet though, there are currently no arm64 Docker images at the time of writing this so you will have to compile it manually yourself for now.
The rounded display is a web app showing node status and basic account info.
Next I checked out Clive AI and played around with the MCP server they developed. The underlying LLM model is some variant of Claude (not sure which one).

It left me with this comment that was broadcasted in this transaction.
Clive AI may not respond some information accurately as it may be using pre-trained data such as staked HIVE tiers (not included in screenshots above). I'm also not sure why it says engrave ranks 96 with the wrong HP votes but he was (and still currently is) definitely within top 25 at the time.
