## Resource

In this episode, Mark and Shashank sit down with Greg and Chris, co-founders of AI Maker Space, at a hackathon in Palo Alto at the offices of 500 startups. They discuss the mission of AI Maker Space to build a community for developing and deploying large language model applications. The conversation covers topics such as the use of retrieval augmented generation (RAG) versus fine-tuning, the role of agents in AI applications, the importance of traditional software engineering skills in AI development, and the future of AI—including vision-language models and embodied AI. Greg and Chris also share advice for newcomers interested in entering the AI field. https://aimakerspace.io/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbDZFHUjTCCUKyXgcp3g50Q
