Have a long flight so time to do a thread on a question I get in some form at least half dozen times a week
Where will value accrue in AI from here
Think: foundation models, apps, middleware, full-stack blah blah blah etc
“AI-Native companies” were Larry’s clear prediction back in May ‘22, before we had any inkling of the AI breakthroughs that lay around the corner.
But great entrepreneurs like @lmaugustin use their experience AND their imagination to see around corners, and into the future.
Throw'n it back to e37 with @sramji + @lmagustin! Larry asks, “Are there models or structures that we can come up with where people can contribute small amounts of data and as a result of that, get back a lot of value?" bit.ly/OSDlarryTB

Take a minute to learn about LLMs in serious production applications from the co-founder of @Firebase and CEO of @Shortwave … incredibly practical.
A lot of people are launching “AI Assistants” these days. Most are just thin wrappers around ChatGPT.
The @Shortwave AI Assistant is different. It uses AI to *find the right data* - not just answer the question.
Here's how it works at a technical level👇🏻
The OpenTF Manifesto has been declared in response to HashiCorp’s move to renege on the community promise explicit in the MPL: github.com/opentffoundation/…
I'm psyched to share this timely interview with @DanielLenton1 - I learned a lot from him. We touched on reproducibility, transpilers for ML frameworks, and a bit on Flash Attention as well.
Give it a listen!
A new episode is here! @sramji and @DanielLenton1 discuss the power behind Ivy , open source reproducibility, and democratizing AI.
Tune in: bit.ly/dlentosd

If you haven't checked out Shortwave yet, you really should - especially if you liked Google Inbox!
@bgalbs @dalmaer FYI
Goodbye beta, hello Android 1.0 👋🤖
We redesigned our Android app, packed it with new features, & cut load times by 90% to make it ready for the Play Store
See how our 1.0 release brings the best of Google’s Inbox app back to life on Android 🪦♻️📧

Pushed the first cut of my weekend hack project. Well like 3 weekends.
It’s called LLM-J a pure Java LLM inference engine. I wanted to learn how LLMs work and try out Java 20+ so here we are.
It supports GPT-2 and Llama 2 (well almost).
github.com/tjake/llm-j
If you’re a Java developer and your brain can’t decipher PyTorch like mine this may help you understand better.
Biggest takeaway from me is dot product is literally 95% of the cpu time.
Speaking of CPUs, this project has made me think maybe the future isn’t all GPUs. Sure you need them for training. But for inference and perhaps LoRA a distributed inference engine could be workable and cheaper to run.

I jumped at the chance to interview @Dpbrinkm who has built an amazing community of ML and LLM practitioners with curiosity, empathy, and constancy.
Drop in to hear what he’s learned over the last few years and especially what it’s like now in the hyperspeed era in AI! #MLOps
A new episode is here! @sramji and @Dpbrinkm discuss LLM in production use cases, niche chat bot experiences, and the LLM Survey Report from the MLOps Community.

I'm delighted to share a quick introduction to these three leaders in data, AI, and systems. Take two minutes to watch and enhance your brain!
A bonus episode is here, featuring past interviews with @jayagupta10, Yuliia Tkachova, and @omojumiller!
Tune in to hear their points on how they’re building foundations for trust, inspiration, and reputation: bit.ly/osdJYObonus

A short and sweet conversation on #datamesh and @nextdatatec with the wonderfully observant and insightful @sramji youtu.be/H4g9mSerftA

Part 2 of the AI-ecosystem discussion is here!
@sramji sits down with @charnaparkey and Sam Bean to discuss the AI-native stack in practice.

#AInative #AIecosystem @DataStax @YouSearchEngine
This conversation leveled me up in understanding the shape of the AI-Native Stack.
Come hang out with Mikiko, Zain, and Tuana to hear about how Embedding Providers, Neural Frameworks, Feature Stores, and Vector Search Engines come together like Voltron for AI-driven experiences.
A series of two discussions on the AI-native stack to close S4. And the 1st is here!
@sramji is joined by @BazeleyMikiko, @zainhas, and @tuanacelik to talk about what it means to be a provider in the AI-first ecosystem: dtsx.io/aistackosd

I watched missionjoy.org/ last night. It's an extraordinary conversation between two people who have spent their lifetimes working to overcome hardship and create peace at national scales.
It's a 90-minute dive into kindness. Enjoy the journey.
Featureform is moving fast and fixing things. If you're interested in feature stores, take a look at the v0.6 release that went out today. There's a lot to like!

🧠 What does the #AINative Stack look like? 🤔
💬Awesome convo w/ @sramji , @zainhas, @tuanacelik about virtual #featurestores (@FeatureformML ), #vectorsearch (@weaviate_io ), & #nlp frameworks (@deepset_ai ).
👉A common theme was the importance of empathy-as-a-feature for the open-source Native-AI stack & the unprecedented amount of oppty for organizations involved in recommendation, deep learning to leverage cutting edge tech.
