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

How can I reduce the cost from day one?

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

And also, is this thing working?

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

And that's the thing.

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

And I would say the third thing is...

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

people are now realizing that there are viable alternatives, right?

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

Like I think there was when, when, when the, when it kind of first came, there was, you were talking, maybe you were using maybe open AI, you're using Anthropic, but now, you know, what we're seeing is that there's a huge demand for kind of like open source models and alternative infrastructures that can be served a lot cheaper.

So again, if you, you know, if you swap around that cost base for what's available on say like our cloud, you would start to see that ROI definitely swing around.

But again,

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

I, you know, I do think there's definitely, there definitely is a, um, there's a need for more, I would say oversight of some of these, of these, of these projects.

The Neuron: AI Explained

And I do think as we shift to kind of smaller models and more efficient models, that will start to change.

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

I think this has been like almost a ramp up of how do we start AI?

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

We've all been using tokens, um, and not really thinking about it.

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

And now people are going to really start looking at that.

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

And

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

I think the value has been generated.

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

So I think the business value has been generated.

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

It's just at the cost.

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

I think when people are supposed to read the paper, what they take out is that, oh, these projects aren't delivering value.

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

But we know that these things are delivering the business value.

The problem people are having is that
