Even though Jorge, Lilian, and Linda didn’t specialize in Af and couldn’t fully grasp how groundbreaking Celeste’s paper was, they did know one thing–Wynn’s advisor, Cayden, was a major figure in the AI world.

A world–renowned expert like him paying this much attention to a paper–personally messaging Wynn and urging her to study it thoroughly–was a huge deal.

On top of that, Rodney’s student had just said Celeste’s paper had caused a massive stir both at home and abroad, with top engineers staying up all night to read it.

All of this pointed to one thing: Celeste’s paper had real weight. But how could such a powerful paper possibly have come from Celeste?

Rodney, not knowing who Celeste was or her history with the Lockets and the Shaws, hadn’t read the paper yet.

Still, just hearing that it had increased large language model efficiency for long–text processing over tenfold was already enough to get him excited.

He immediately turned to Matthias and asked, “This engineer named Celeste Rodriguez–is she here today?”

“She is,” Matthias said with a smile. He turned toward Celeste and added, “This is Celeste Rodriguez.”

Celeste had been extremely low–key the whole time–whether during the Fleming Group meeting earlier or now -quiet and unassuming.

But her looks made her hard to ignore. Even those who didn’t know her had taken notice of her just because she was so striking.

What no one had imagined was that she was this capable.

When it sank in that she was the one behind the paper causing such a commotion in the AI world, Rodney stood up in surprise and walked over to her, offering a handshake and greeting her politely.

“Hello, Ms. Rodriguez. I’m Rodney Milford from Yardley University. My research over the years has focused on fundamental AI theory and applied development. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Celeste also stood and shook his hand, replying, “Hello, Professor Milford. You’re too kind. It’s an honor to meet you.”
