No information about whether it will run Valetudo.

Valetudo is an API proxy to control robots via an associated app in order to avoid vendor clouds.

It is not a robot firmware and has no role here.

  • It could still be the UI for this, if they wanted to, and they just implement the guts behind it with that in mind. It's not everything, but the UI is still something you can ~skip.

Why would it run Valetudo? Thats a product for rooted, closed-source vacuums.

Let alone why would someone want to attract the toxic culture that is the Valetudo creator and community?

This project seems like AI slop, but at this point that’s better than toxic dictators.

  • Heh that was my first thought upon seeing this headline: how will the Valetudo guy contort himself to get upset about this to the tune of an unhinged screed this time?
