Uncharted Territory: AI Now and in the Future
This industry has been relatively the same for the past 15 years with no substantial breakthroughs or innovation. Well established, polished, and always striving to implement layers of defense. With AI, it feels like a whole new industry - something is vastly different and the future looks uncharted. That can seem scary for some, but exciting for others. Let’s dive into what’s changing, how we can change with this, and what we can do right now. This will be a technical talk. I’ll be diving into some of the ways I do development, ensure good code quality, and develop at scale more than I ever had before. I’ll also cover open weight vs frontier models, fine tuning, building models, and the 8xh200’s infrastructure we built and what we use them for in innovating every day.
