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

And what I'm really, what really, we're really bullish about is just the amount of quality in the open source.

You know, like the, the labs that are coming out, you know, like Mistral, BeepSeek, Lama, like you've got phenomenal.

open source models that are coming out.

And I do think it's going to be even more in the next 12 to 18 months.

I'll be surprised if we don't see other entrants coming into the market.

I agree.

That's exciting for us because we're just like, keep it coming because we're agnostic and we just want our customers to be able to have the best choice.

And I'm super excited for someone who loves open source to see every day I read a new paper and someone's just brought out a model.

I'm like, the buoyancy and the kind of enthusiasm in the open source is amazing.

There's always something.

It's...

The Neuron: AI Explained

This is where I always, if you think about use cases, this becomes so important.

The Neuron: AI Explained

You've got models that are coming out, you know, that are training for specific use cases.

People coming out with their sort of specific language.

One of the things that we talked about, I think, is we're working with a leading voice provider who kind of picked us because of our latency budget.

And it's amazing to see the custom models they're building and what other people are building just for voice.

And it just, I just think in the next 12 to eight, you know, in the next 12 to 18 months, you know, you're going to see, you know, oh, I want to go and build a agent to do, you know, case management in fraud risk software.

Now that seems super niche.
