Summary
Tormod Ree is the chief product and engineering officer at Neat, the Zoom-backed video hardware company putting 11 or more cameras and dozens of microphones into a single meeting room. He explains how Neat's edge models read a room in real time, why the orchestration harness matters more than the models, and how the company trains computer vision without ever touching customer meeting data.
