"You better better know how to go with the flow."

In this episode, I’m in conversation with Rodrigo Liang, the co-founder and CEO of SambaNova Systems. Generative AI solutions have taken the world by storm and will speed up industry by 10x.

"What’s necessary for us to train these models, we need very, very large data sets. And well guess what? These cloud services and these large hyper scalars have been able to accumulate so much data, that now you have large enough datasets that are allowing us to train these models really well."

The problem is that enterprises want to have their own enterprise AI model that uses their proprietary company data, not a generic dataset scraped from the Internet. SambaNova helps companies build these specific enterprise AI models. 

"The main reason people don't use the largest model is the training cost is significantly higher than the smaller models..."

Rodrigo Liang is co-founder and CEO of SambaNova Systems, a leader in enterprise-scale artificial intelligence solutions. With deep roots in Stanford University, he and his co-founders designed a new full-stack hardware and software platform optimized for AI workflows and set the company on a mission to enable the future of artificial intelligence for the enterprise.  Rodrigo says that we are witnessing the fastest industrial revolution in history – and it's happening right in front of our eyes. The way artificial intelligence has unfolded in the past few months is just the tip of the iceberg, and it's going to transform the world as we know it.  

"Text is still the number one format of your data, regardless of what you say about imaging and videos and things like that. Most of your data at rest exists as text."
