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

And I'm sure there won't be a model that does exactly that.

But as we go on, you'll start to see these models narrowed down so that there'll be a day when you go onto Hugging Face and you'll be like, oh, I need this one.

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

Cool.

The Neuron: AI Explained

You know, and that is super, super powerful because that, again, will allow people to just be like, hey, I can use this model and it works for my use case as well as anything else.

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

There's a few things people should be looking out for.

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

I think they should be looking out for almost like the...

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

what we talked about, the kind of training inference, right?

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

So like people are like, we're now optimizing for inference.

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

And I think the companies who are largely going to be able to figure that out will be able to kind of own that next generation of AI applications.

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

Like we, of course, we think, you know, training is still going to have a big part, but we also see this new kind of resolved interest as AI grows and more and more people just run inference, right?

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

You know, you have companies that were not

that didn't deploy any AI applications in 2024, who have now started to deploy AI applications.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And if that keeps happening as it is, that market's going to grow even further.

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

Right.

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

And then the next is kind of like the agents as infrastructure, right?

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

Like, you know, this is something that I think about a lot.

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

Like how...

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

it's not just like AI systems, right?

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

AI systems are useful and they're going to be wrong, but I'm talking about something that's actually going to go, like, something that's as scalable as a database and a web server, you know, as an agent.

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

Like, and that is going to be, again, people who figure that out, that's a big one, so I spend a lot of my time thinking about that.
