Practically Intelligent

Curious how the best founders are building with LLMs? In Episode two of Practically Intelligent (and on the heels of YC Demo Day) - we feature three YC W23 founders and chat through how they're building with LLMs, the architectural tradeoffs they've made, how they're navigating discussions with customers and much more.Sinan and I also cover the blistering pace of news in the AI ecosystem int he past two weeks. Everyone expected GPT-4 to be impressive, but the series of open source models released afterwards (Alpaca, Vicuna, Dolly) took the AI world by storm. Teams of academic researchers are distilling models and seeing impressive results without breaking the bank on training costs. Sinan walks through how engineers are doing this and we discuss the licensing and IP questions that are quickly becoming more and more important. Thanks to Max, Rishabh, and Philipp for joining us - please check out their amazing companies!

In our first episode, we chat about the ChatGPT API release, Defensibility in AI Business Models, and explores Reinforcement Learning for Human Feedback (RLHF) - an essential aspect of working with and improving AI models. This is just the beginning - we have a line-up of impressive guests and fascinating topics, so stay tuned for more insightful and practically intelligent discussions.
