Chapter 395
After Celeste and Matthias greeted Bryson and the others , the symposium officially began .
Celeste and Matthias were seated in the front row , near the center . While Wynn sat in the second row . As representatives of the new generation , both Celeste and Matthias were invited on stage to share their approaches and experiences in learning and conducting research , as a reference for the students in the audience . Once the segment ended and the discussion session began , many of the prominent experts at the event were the first to approach Celeste and Matthias .
These experts were all fairly well – known within the country , and each had their own specialized research focus . Whether the topic was convolutional neural networks , embodied intelligence implementation , multimodal interaction , or something else entirely , Celeste handled them all with ease .
She even offered insights and suggestions on issues troubling these experts – like missing modalities and computational efficiency – which made their eyes light up as they listened .
Many of them wished they could keep talking to her forever
There were quite a few prominent experts present , all deeply engaged in their respective fields .
It didn’t take long for them to tell whether someone truly had substance – just listening for a short while was enough .
“ Come on , Drew , you’ve had her ear for ages . Give the rest of us a turn , will you ? ”
“ Exactly ! At least let us take turns . You’ve been monopolizing her this whole time ! ”
“ What’s the rush ? I just have one more question , then I’ll be done- ”
“ Don’t even bother . I already know you’re going to ask about scaling issues in practical applications . That topic alone could go on forever ! Who knows how long we’ll have to wait if we let you start on that ? ”
Meanwhile , Wynn was also chatting with someone not far behind Celeste .
“ Wynn , ” called out Lilian , who had come with her , “ Mr. Thatcher just asked you something . ”
Wynn had been paying close attention to everything happening around Celeste . She was almost completely aware of what was going on in that group .
So much so that she was somewhat absent – minded about her own interactions – in fact , when people spoke to her , she didn’t react immediately .
Hearing Lilian’s voice snapped her out of it .
She gave a quick smile and said , “ Sorry , Mr. Thatcher , I was a little absorbed in Mr. Hale and the others ‘ discussion
Wynn was also in the AI field , so it was only natural that she’d be interested in the technical conversations happening around her .
Kevin understood and smiled , saying , “ No problem at all . ”
After that , Wynn refocused and began chatting with him .
But no one knew her better than her mother . Lilian could already tell that Wynn had been acting off for more than half an hour now .

And it seemed related to whatever was going on with Celeste ,

She had caught bits and pieces of what was happening how those experts were all eager to talk with Celeste and the way they surrounded her with admiration .
After Kevin left , Lilian glanced in Celeste’s direction , then found a chance to ask Wynn , “ What’s wrong ? ”
Wynn withdrew her gaze and said , “ I think I finally understand why Rodney and Bryson spoke so highly of Celeste the other day . It seems she really does have some knowledge . ”
She knew several of the experts who had come to consult with Celeste and knew they were no ordinary figures .
If these people all had significant research achievements of their own , their standards would naturally be quite high .
Yet not only did they take the initiative to speak with Celeste , they also treated her advice like it was gold . That alone showed she had real capability .
Wynn had also been carefully listening in on Celeste’s conversations .
Her breadth of knowledge was genuinely wide , and there were many parts that Wynn herself simply couldn’t .understand .
No wonder Rodney had described her as an “ all – rounder ” in the AI field .
If , the other day at Fleming Group , when Celeste was discussing technical breakthroughs with Bryson and others , she’d merely been parroting Matthias or Zachary , what about now ?
Now , Celeste was speaking with Professor McKee and others about topics that were both broad and deeply technical .
As someone also in AI , Wynn knew that if all Celeste was doing was repeating others ‘ ideas , there was no way she ‘ could manage this level of engagement .
Lilian was slightly stunned .
Seeing how the top experts were all flocking to Celeste , it did seem like she had real capability .
However , she said calmly , “ She’s been by Matthias ‘ side for so long , and regularly joins him in meetings with Zachary . With two of the country’s top AI minds teaching her , it’s only natural she’d develop that breadth and skill . “ Otherwise , why do you think she worked so hard to keep you from getting close to Matthias in the first place ? “ Besides , if you had been the one close to Matthias and Zachary , I believe you’d be doing even better than she is . ”
