In this episode of AI + a16z, Ambience cofounder and chief scientist Nikhil Buduma joins Derrick Harris to discuss the nuances of using AI models to build vertical applications (including in his space, health care), and why industry acumen is at least as important as technical expertise. Nikhil also shares his experience of having a first-row seat to key advances in AI — including the transformer architecture — which not only allowed his company to be an early adopter, but also gave him insight into the types of problems that AI could solve in the future.Here's an excerpt of Nikhil explaining the importance of understanding your buyer:"If you believe that the most valuable companies are going to fall out of some level of vertical integration between the app layer and the model layer, [that] this next generation of incredibly valuable companies is going to be built by founders who've spent years just obsessively becoming experts in an industry, I would recommend that someone actually know how to map out the most valuable use cases and have a clear story for how those use cases have synergistic, compounding value when you solve those problems increasingly in concert together. "I think the founding team is going to have to have the right ML chops to actually build out the right live learning loops, build out the ML ops loops to measure and to close the gap on model quality for those use cases. [But] the model is actually just one part of solving the problem. "You actually need to be thoughtful about the product, the design, the delivery competencies to make sure that what you build is integrated with the right sources of the enterprise data that fits into the right workflows in the right way. And you're going to have to invest heavily in the change management to make sure that customers realize the full value of what they're buying from you. That's all actually way more important than people realize."Learn more:Fundamentals of Deep LearningFollow everyone on X:Nikhil BudumaDerrick Harris Check out everything a16z is doing with artificial intelligence here, including articles, projects, and more podcasts.

John 14:15-31 “Never Alone: The Promise of God's Presence”Series: John Preacher: Derrick HarrisSunday MorningDate: 1st September 2024Passage: John 14:15-31------------------- We all experience loneliness. (John 14:15-21) If we could do it on our own, then we wouldn't need a Helper.The Holy Spirit gives us guidance in our loneliness. (John 14:22-26) If we could do it on our own, then we wouldn't need a Teacher.The Holy Spirit gives us transcendental peace in our loneliness. (John 14:27-31) If we could do it on our own, then we wouldn't need a Savior.Why it matters: We can't do it on our own. Jesus endured the loneliness of the cross to end loneliness forever; His presence is the answer to our deepest fears.

In this episode of the AI + a16z podcast, Command Zero cofounder and CTO Dean de Beer joins a16z's Joel de la Garza and Derrick Harris to discuss the benefits of training large language models on security data, as well as the myriad factors product teams need to consider when building on LLMs. Here's an excerpt of Dean discussing the challenges and concerns around scaling up LLMs:"Scaling out infrastructure has a lot of limitations: the APIs you're using, tokens, inbound and outbound, the cost associated with that — the nuances of the models, if you will. And not all models are created equal, and they oftentimes are very good for specific use cases and they might not be appropriate for your use case, which is why we tend to use a lot of different models for our use cases . . ."So your use cases will heavily determine the models that you're going to use. Very quickly, you'll find that you'll be spending more time on the adjacent technologies or infrastructure. So, memory management for models. How do you go beyond the context window for a model? How do you maintain the context of the data, when given back to the model? How do you do entity extraction so that the model understands that there are certain entities that it needs to prioritize when looking at new data? How do you leverage semantic search as something to augment the capabilities of the model and the data that you're ingesting? "That's where we have found that we spend a lot more of our time today than on the models themselves. We have found a good combination of models that run our use cases; we augment them with those adjacent technologies."Learn more:The Cuckoo's Egg1995 Citigroup hackFollow everyone on social media:Dean de BeerJoel de la GarzaDerrick Harris Check out everything a16z is doing with artificial intelligence here, including articles, projects, and more podcasts.

Matthew 22:37-40 "Creating and Holding Space: Embracing God's Love and Purpose"Series: Walking With Jesus in the Pathways of Grace Preacher: Derrick HarrisSunday MorningDate: 21st July 2024Passage: Matthew 22:37-40-------------------1.) God made space 2.) God holds space for us 3.) God wants us to hold space for each other Why it matters: The greatest commandment reveals the source of our ultimate purpose: holding space for God's love and holding space for each other.

In this episode of the AI + a16z podcast, Anyscale cofounder and CEO Robert Nishihara joins a16z's Jennifer Li and Derrick Harris to discuss the challenges of training and running AI models at scale; how a focus on video models — and the huge amount of data involved — will change generative AI models and infrastructure; and the unique experience of launching a company out of the UC-Berkeley Sky Computing Lab (the successor to RISElab and AMPLab).Here's a sample of the discussion, where Robert explains how generative AI has turbocharged the appetite for AI capabilities within enterprise customers:"Two years ago, we would talk to companies, prospective customers, and AI just wasn't a priority. It certainly wasn't a company-level priority in the way that it is today. And generative AI is the reason a lot of companies now reach out to us . . . because they know that succeeding with AI is essential for their businesses, it's essential for their competitive advantage."And time to market matters for them. They don't want to spend a year hiring an AI infrastructure team, building up a 20-person team to build all of the internal infrastructure, just to be able to start to use generative AI. That's something they want to do today."At another point in the discussion, he notes on this same topic:"One dimension where we try to go really deep is on the developer experience and just enabling developers to be more productive. This is a complaint we hear all the time with machine learning teams or infrastructure teams: They'll say that they hired all these machine learning people, but then the machine learning people are spending all of their time managing clusters or working on the infrastructure. Or they'll say that it takes 6 weeks or 12 weeks to get a model to transition from development to production . . . Or moving from a laptop to the cloud, and to go from single machine to scaling — these are expensive handoffs often involve rewriting a bunch of code."Learn more:AnyscaleSky Computing LabRayFollow everyone on X:Robert NishiharaJennifer LiDerrick Harris Check out everything a16z is doing with artificial intelligence here, including articles, projects, and more podcasts.

In this episode, design engineer Alasdair Monk joins a16z's Yoko Li and Derrick Harris to discuss how generative AI is changing how developers — and the those building for developers — interact with the tools of their trade. Alasdair's journey includes stints at dev-centric companies such as Heroku/Salesforce, and he's presently designing the user experience for Poolside, an AI programming startup. Here's a sample of Alasdair discussing the future of the prompt bar in generative coding tools: "When interacting with machine learning models, we've almost thrown away 30 years of human-computer interaction knowledge and kind of reverted to using a terminal circa 1980 to interact with computer, or the prompt bar. This very plain-text way to interact with AI is really interesting. "I think it's very different when you can't predict what a user interface is going to look like. What an LLM can spit out is basically unpredictable or non-deterministic, and so how do you design for that or how do you design around the guardrails for that are the really interesting things that I think everyone who works in the industry right now is trying to figure out. And I think it's pretty clear to a lot of people that sometimes you want to chat to the computer as if it's like the rubber duck."I think a lot of where AI is going to really help us, particularly with engineering, is going to be in the interactions that aren't that at all, and will actually probably look much more like interacting with traditional software today, where I interact with it via windows and buttons and all sorts of GUI elements."Follow everyone on X:Alasdair MonkYoko LiDerrick Harris Check out everything a16z is doing with artificial intelligence here, including articles, projects, and more podcasts.

In this episode, Inngest cofounder and CEO Tony Holdstock-Brown joins a16z partner Yoko Li, as well as Derrick Harris, to discuss the reality and complexity of running AI agents and other multistep AI workflows in production. Tony also why developer tools for generative AI — and their founders — might look very similar to previous generations of these products, and where there are opportunities for improvement.Here's a sample of the discussion, where Tony shares some advice for engineers looking to build for AI:"We almost have two parallel tracks right now as, as engineers. We've got the CPU track in which we're all like, 'Oh yeah, CPU-bound, big O notation. What are we doing on the application-level side?' And then we've got the GPU side, in which people are doing like crazy things in order to make numbers faster, in order to make differentiation better and smoother, in order to do  gradient descent in a nicer and more powerful way. The two disciplines right now are working together, but are also very, very, very different from an engineering point of view. "This is one interesting part to think about for like new engineers, people that are just thinking about what to do if they want to go into the engineering field overall. Do you want to be on the side using AI, in which you take all of these models, do all of this stuff, build the application-level stuff, and chain things together to build products? Or do you want to be on the math side of things, in which you do really low-level things in order to make compilers work better, so that your AI things can run faster and more efficiently? Both are engineering, just completely different applications of it."Learn more:The Modern Transactional StackThe LLM App StackFollow everyone on X:Tony Holdstock-BrownYoko LiDerrick Harris Check out everything a16z is doing with artificial intelligence here, including articles, projects, and more podcasts.

In this episode, Ideogram CEO Mohammad Norouzi joins a16z General Partner Jennifer Li, as well as Derrick Harris, to share his story of growing up in Iran, helping build influential text-to-image models at Google, and ultimately cofounding and running Ideogram. He also breaks down the differences between transformer models and diffusion models, as well as the transition from researcher to startup CEO.Here's an excerpt where Mohammad discusses the reaction to the original transformer architecture paper, "Attention Is All You Need," within Google's AI team:"I think [lead author Asish Vaswani] knew right after the paper was submitted that this is a very important piece of the technology. And he was telling me in the hallway how it works and how much improvement it gives to translation. Translation was a testbed for the transformer paper at the time, and it helped in two ways. One is the speed of training and the other is the quality of translation. "To be fair, I don't think anybody had a very crystal clear idea of how big this would become. And I guess the interesting thing is, now, it's the founding architecture for computer vision, too, not only for language. And then we also went far beyond language translation as a task, and we are talking about general-purpose assistants and the idea of building general-purpose intelligent machines. And it's really humbling to see how big of a role the transformer is playing into this."Learn more:Investing in IdeogramImagenDenoising Diffusion Probabilistic ModelsFollow everyone on X:Mohammad NorouziJennifer LiDerrick Harris Check out everything a16z is doing with artificial intelligence here, including articles, projects, and more podcasts.

a16z partners Guido Appenzeller and Matt Bornstein join Derrick Harris to discuss the state of the generative AI market, about 18 months after it really kicked into high gear with the release of ChatGPT — everything from the emergence of powerful open source LLMs to the excitement around AI-generated music.If there's one major lesson to learn, it's that although we've made some very impressive technological strides and companies are generating meaningful revenue, this is still a a very fluid space. As Matt puts it during the discussion:"For nearly all AI applications and most model providers,  growth is kind of a sawtooth pattern, meaning when there's a big new amazing thing announced, you see very fast growth.  And when it's been a while since the last release, growth kind of can flatten off. And you can imagine retention can be  all over the place, too . . ."I think every time we're in a flat period, people start to think, 'Oh, it's mature now,  the, the gold rush is over. What happens next?' But then a new spike almost always comes, or at least has over the last 18 months or so. So a lot of this depends on your time horizon, and I think we're still in this period of, like, if you think growth has slowed, wait a month  and see it change."Follow everyone on X:Guido AppenzellerMatt BornsteinDerrick Harris Check out everything a16z is doing with artificial intelligence here, including articles, projects, and more podcasts.

In this episode of the AI + a16z podcast, a16z General Partner Zane Lackey and a16z Partner Joel de la Garza sit down with Derrick Harris to discuss how generative AI — LLMs, in particular — and foundation models could effect profound change in cybersecurity. After years of AI-washing by security vendors, they explain why the hype is legitimate this time as AI provides  a real opportunity to help security teams cut through the noise and automate away the types of drudgery that lead to mistakes."Often when you're running a security team, you're not only drowning in noise, but you're drowning in just the volume of things going on," Zane explains. "And so I think a lot of security teams are excited about, 'Can we utilize AI and LLMs to really take at least some of that off of our plate?'"I think it's still very much an open question of how far they go in helping us, but even taking some meaningful percentage off of our plate in terms of overall work is going to really help security teams overall."Follow everyone:Zane LackeyJoel de la GarzaDerrick Harris Check out everything a16z is doing with artificial intelligence here, including articles, projects, and more podcasts.

Socket Founder and CEO Feross Aboukhadijeh joins a16z's Joel de la Garza and Derrick Harris to discuss the open-source software supply chain. Feross and Joel share their thoughts and insights on topics ranging from the recent XZutils attack to how large language models can help overcome understaffed security teams and overwhelmed developers. Despite some increasingly sophisticated attacks making headlines and compromising countless systems, they're optimistic that LLMs, in particular, could be a turning point for security blue teams. As Feross sums up one possibility:"The way we think about gen AI on the defensive side is that it's not as good as a human looking at the code, but it's something. . . . Our challenge is that we want to scan all the open source code that exists out there. That is not something you can pay humans to do. That is not scalable at all. But, with the right techniques, with the right pre-filtering stages, you can actually put a lot of that stuff through LLMs and out the other side will pop a list of of risky packages."And then that's a much smaller number that you can have humans take a look at. And so we're using it as a tool . . . to find the needle in the haystack, what is worth looking at. It's not perfect, but it can help cut down on the noise and it can even make this problem tractable, which previously wasn't even tractable."More about Socket and  cybersecurity:SocketInvesting in SocketHiring a CISOFollow everyone :Feross AboukhadijehJoel de la GarzaDerrick Harris Check out everything a16z is doing with artificial intelligence here, including articles, projects, and more podcasts.

Pinecone Founder and CEO Edo Liberty joins a16z's Satish Talluri and Derrick Harris to discuss the promises, challenges, and opportunities for vector databases and retrieval augmented generation (RAG). He also shares insights and highlights from a decades-long career in machine learning, which includes stints running research teams at both Yahoo and Amazon Web Services.Because he's been at this a long time,  and despite its utility, Edo understands that RAG — like most of today's popular AI concepts — is still very much a progress:"I think RAG  today is where transformers were in 2017. It's clunky and weird and hard to get right. And it  has a lot of sharp edges, but it already does something amazing. Sometimes, most of the time, the very early adopters and the very advanced users are already picking it up and running with it and lovingly deal with all the sharp edges ..."Making progress on RAG, making progress on information retrieval, and making progress on making AI more knowledgeable and less hallucinatory and more dependable, is a complete greenfield today. There's an infinite amount of innovation that will have to go into it."More about Pinecone and RAG:Investing in PineconeRetrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)Emerging Architectures for LLM ApplicationsFollow everyone on X:Edo LibertySatish TalluriDerrick Harris Check out everything a16z is doing with artificial intelligence here, including articles, projects, and more podcasts.

Naveen Rao, vice president of generative AI at Databricks, joins a16z's Matt Bornstein and Derrick Harris to discuss enterprise usage of LLMs and generative AI. Naveen is particularly knowledgeable about the space, having spent years building AI chips first at Qualcomm and then as the founder of AI chip startup Nervana Systems back in 2014. Intel acquired Nervana in 2016.After a stint at Intel, Rao re-emerged with MosaicML in 2021. This time, he focused on the software side of things, helping customers train their own LLMs, and also fine-tune foundation models, on top of an optimized tech stack. Databricks acquired Mosaic in July of 2023.This discussion covers the gamut of generative AI topics — from basic theory to specialized chips — to  although we focus on how the enterprise LLM market is shaping up. Naveen also shares his thoughts on why he prefers finally being part of the technology in-crowd, even if it means he can't escape talking about AI outside of work.More information:LLMs at DatabricksMosaic ResearchMore AI content from a16zFollow everyone on X:Naveen RaoMatt BornsteinDerrick Harris Check out everything a16z is doing with artificial intelligence here, including articles, projects, and more podcasts.
