## Resource

Artificial intelligence is moving faster than ever, but as AI models continue to grow in size and complexity, the challenges surrounding inference performance are becoming impossible to ignore. In this week's podcast, ElastixAI CEO Dr. Mohammad Rastegari and I chat about how we can overcome those challenges and why a different approach to AI infrastructure is necessary for the next generation of AI innovation. We also explore the key bottlenecks limiting inference performance, how ElastixAI is tackling these issues, and why FPGAs are emerging as a compelling platform for accelerating large language model inference.
