As a veteran of the AI industry, including his time leading product marketing for AI and machine learning at Apple, Jamie shares insights on the challenges and opportunities of operating open models at speed and scale. He delves into the importance of open source in AI, the evolution of the open model ecosystem, and how Together.ai's AI acceleration cloud is contributing to this movement with a focus on performance and efficiency. Announcements Hello and welcome to the AI Engineering Podcast, your guide to the fast-moving world of building scalable and maintainable AI systems Your host is Tobias Macey and today I'm interviewing Jamie de Guerre about the role of open models in the AI economy and how to operate them at speed and at scale Interview Introduction How did you get involved in machine learning? Can you describe what Together AI is and the story behind it? What are the key goals of the company? The initial rounds of open models were largely driven by massive tech companies. How would you characterize the current state of the ecosystem that is driving the creation and evolution of open models? There was also a lot of argument about what \"open source\" and \"open\" means in the context of ML/AI models, and the different variations of licenses being attached to them (e.g. the Meta license for Llama models). What is the current state of the language used and understanding of the restrictions/freedoms afforded? What are the phases of organizational/technical evolution from initial use of open models through fine-tuning, to custom model development? Can you outline the technical challenges companies face when…","meta_description":"Summary In this episode of the AI Engineering Podcast Jamie De Guerre, founding SVP of product at Together.ai, explores the role of open models in the AI…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3061,"processing_state":"failed","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/ai-engineering-podcast/episodes/the-future-of-ai-systems-open-models-and-infrastructure-challenges/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ai-engineering-podcast/the-future-of-ai-systems-open-models-and-infrastructure-challenges.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
