The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

So I would say those big models, I think they're going to be there, but we're already seeing a switch to these smaller ones as well.

The Neuron: AI Explained

It depends.

And I know that's such a cop-out answer, but it really does.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And I think we, like, some of us, we're kind of agnostic, right?

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

We want to give you the best model for your use case.

And, you know, we, for instance, OSS,

For a moment, it's a fantastic model.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

It's a fantastic model considering its footprint, 120 billion parameters.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

It's smaller, right?

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

It's smaller than some of its other frontier contenders.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And that makes it more accessible to customers.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

And we're seeing that as well.

The Neuron: AI Explained

People can say, oh, hey, this is actually, I can run this even faster on your platform, which means that I can run it maybe on more even real-time applications.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

Yeah.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

I think that, you know, we've also got the Quen Coda models, which are absolutely phenomenal.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

You know, like the full, you know, those are the 480, I think, billion parameter model as well, working really, really well.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

But I think, and this is also kind of based on the open route to traffic, like I think DeepSeat V3 has really hit a mark and also Maverick as well.

The Neuron: AI Explained
AI Inference: Why Speed Matters More Than You Think (with SambaNova's Kwasi Ankomah)

Like Maverick because of its vision.

The Neuron: AI Explained

I know people, people weren't kind of super happy with the reasoning performance, but I would also kind of,

The Neuron: AI Explained

counter that with, it is a multimodal model, right?
