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

We've seen it work really well in terms of, especially the larger 128B variation, right?

Mixture of experts handling computer vision.

So again, that's a very good model if you've got a vision problem.

When we set up some of these architectures, we use Maverick for kind of like predicted maintenance and stuff like that.

It does a really, really good job.

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

But I think...

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

the one the one that i think people has captured people's imagination and they they're able to because they're kind of just comparing it to frontier right has been probably v3 right v3 or r1 big and because r1 it's kind of you know it's reasoning expertise but v3 is just it's just a very strong and consistent model and i think you know it works to the point where you know if you did a kind of a blind test you'd be you'd struggle to see the difference

in its output between, especially the new 3.1 that's just come out as well, and 05-28.

The Neuron: AI Explained

They're really pushing at the door of the frontier model saying, hey, we are pitching ourselves directly against you.

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

And so it's a hard one to answer because they are, you know, but those are the ones to me that stand out.

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

And I think, you know, from what we're seeing from our clients and what I'm seeing when building agents, those are the ones, those are the models that really, really do give kind of stellar, stellar performance.

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)

What do you think?

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

Yeah, we're kind of focusing on the inference side of things.

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

There's so many amazing model...

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

model providers and we want to focus our energy on making them as efficient as possible and making sure they run as fast as possible.

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

But yeah, we'll stay kind of on the infrastructure and optimization side of things.

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)

It's, it's, it's very, very super cost-intensive.

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

As you said, it needs, needs a phenomenal team.
