Listen Later

Thank you so much for watching the 42nd episode of the Weaviate Podcast! Ethan Steininger is the founder of Mixpeek, an intelligence layer that sits on top of your S3 bucket, so you can search and analyze unstructured data at scale. Ethan has also created Collie with the headline of "Enter your website and Collie will fetch every asset, then give you an embedded search bar that wows your users". Ethan began the podcast by describing his background at MongoDB and integrating the database with full text search functionality. Ethan then presented the founding vision of Mixpeek and some of the most outstanding problems with adapting the latest AI technologies to solve business problems. This lead us to discuss a massive range of topics around the AI landscape from the Llama / Alpaca models to ChatGPT Plugins, the paradigm shift in coding and serverless GPUs. I really enjoyed speaking with Ethan about all these things, I hope you enjoy listening! We would more than happy to discuss any ideas you have with you or answer any questions, thanks again for watching!
