Come on, you're an SEO.

This was on purpose, wasn't it?

All right.

Hello, and welcome to the Neuron podcast.

Today, we're talking to Kwasi Onkoma.

Kwasi is the lead AI architect at Samba Nova Systems, where he specializes in agentic AI and solving the critical challenge of making AI models run fast enough for real-world production applications using Samba Nova's revolutionary RDU chip architecture.

So we thought he would be the perfect guest for the Neuron podcast.

Just a quick FYI about Samba Nova Systems.

Samba Nova builds custom chips, systems, and platforms that let organizations train and run large AI models more efficiently than with standard hardware.

Well, I got to ask, okay, so let's just clarify.

So very simple, before we get to agents, for our readers and listeners who use ChatGPT daily, maybe don't think about what's happening under the hood.

So when you type a prompt into ChatGPT or any other AI and hit enter, what actually happens?

Like what is inference in plain English?

Yeah.

Well, did you see that paper that came out recently?

It was like from MIT, I believe, and it was, you know, kind of anecdotal, but they were talking about how, you know, 95% of organizations aren't getting an ROI from their work.

business.

First of all, did you see that paper at all?

Are you familiar with it?

Yeah.
