Hello Fluffle Fam! Today's episode came straight from a wonderful question sent in by someone in our Little Loppy Roo Instagram community: "why is it that we love hearing bunnies chew but can't stand it from humans?" What a brilliant question. I couldn't stop thinking about it so I went and did the research, and this episode is the result. We're talking misophonia, ASMR, prey animal safety cues, the parasympathetic nervous system, and why the sound of Roo and Kumo eating breakfast is basically free therapy. It's fun, it's fascinating, and it's for every bunny parent who has ever sat on the floor just listening to their bunnies chomp and felt completely at peace.  Video is available on Spotify and YouTube!

Hello Fluffle Fam! Today's episode is about the three very different relationships that our Queen Roo has had with each of her bunny companions. Every single one has been completely unique. Roo and Linus: soulmates, forever and ever. Roo and Timo: chaotic housemates who couldn't live with each other but couldn't quite live without each other either. And Roo and Kumo: the classic big sister and naggy little brother energy that is adorable to watch. Every bunny is different, every pairing is different, and this episode is a love letter to all three. Grab your tea!! Video is available on Spotify and YouTube!

What's up folks, welcome to our 4 part series of Crawling through the dungeon of martech architecture. You've arrived at Part 3: The Correlation Masquerade.We'll cover:(00:00) - Intro (01:16) - In This Episode (01:36) - Sponsor: Knak (02:44) - Sponsor: MoEngage (04:02) - FLOOR 3: THE CORRELATION MASQUERADE (05:08) - Why Agentic AI Optimizes for the Wrong Thing at Scale (11:30) - The Boomerang Effect on AI that Erodes Revenue (20:40) - Why Marketing Attribution Data Can't Tell AI Agents What Actually Caused the Result (28:28) - Sponsor: Mammoth Growth (29:31) - Sponsor: GrowthLoop (33:56) - How Bad Signals Masquerade as Evidence (42:27) - BOSS BATTLE: The Correlation Boomerang Archer (43:27) - Reducing Exposure While the Foundation Is Built (49:07) - Building a Causal Memory Layer With a Context Graph (01:02:15) - Achievement unlocked: Causal Evidence Layer Established ---------------------------------------------------------------------------OPENING---------------------------------------------------------------------------Welcome back to the Dungeon of Martech Architecture.You've arrived at part 3. If you're just joining, go back to parts 1 and 2, where we demoted the CRM, built the warehouse, engineered the context layer, and built the shared meaning infrastructure that keeps agents from misinterpreting what they read.Episode 1: CRM GravityWe conquered the source of truth and discovered that the data warehouse replaces the CRM with portable audiences.Episode 2: The Eye of ContextWe learned why AI fails without context engineering, built the shared meaning infrastructure, and dug into why the industry built the wrong kind of meaning infrastructure in 2012.Episode 3: The Correlation MasqueradeToday, we escape the correlation trap and build the causal memory layer that separates agents that optimize correctly from agents that confidently scale the wrong behavior.Episode 4: The Dispatch TowerNext, we tackle the governance chaos of 30 vendors all claiming authority, and confront the interface decision that most organizations already made without realizing it.Let's continue our descent.---Okay so we're making our way down to the third floor with blood sweat and tears. But we're feeling good. Our data is clean-ish. You've built a context bundle that we're proud of and we collaborated on it with multiple people and shared definitions. We've got a nice big fancy data warehouse as our source of truth.Our warehouse holds a complete record of what happened. We can query patterns, correlations, historical campaign data, audience behaviors, outcome signals: all of it is available. But the problem we're about to find out is that none of what we've built so far can tell an agent whether the thing it's optimizing for was ever the right thing to optimize for. None of it explains why an intervention worked, or whether it worked for the reason the model assumes it did.Let's step through.---------------------------------------------------------------------------FLOOR 3: THE CORRELATION MASQUERADE---------------------------------------------------------------------------The layout of the correlation masquerade is like a high speed train to nowhere. You've spent two whole floors meticulously cleaning the “atoms” of your historical customer data and building a sturdy warehouse so that you can let AI and agents loose on the data. Maybe you're starting to play with ‘next best action sequences', building propensity models predicting the likelihood that certain cohorts of users will churn, maybe running reinforcement learning loops on historical context and doubling down on your best campaigns. Everything looks like it's working... until the world rumbles and you realize you're still in a trap.The layout of this floor is a room where every single action comes back wrong. And it's not technically AI's fault, they're just optimizing for a finish line that's actually just the end of the first heat of 8 heats. It's a trap.Why Agentic AI Optimizes for the Wrong Thing at ScaleJason Dobbs, the Head of Marketing Ops and GTM Engineering at Kumo describes it like this:JASON DOBBS, Kumo AI"A warehouse is a record of what happened. It's not a rulebook for what an agent should do next. If you let a generic agent optimize directly on historical correlations with unbound authority, you can absolutely scale the wrong behavior. A product that correlates with high LTV does not necessarily cause high LTV. Prediction is not policy. Once you cross into action, you still need guardrails, business rules, approvals, evidence that it's actually driving business outcomes."An AI system that treats prediction as their gold standard will happily optimize for proxies while the actual outcome you care about degrades.The Prediction TrapTobias Konitzer spent years studying this failure as a computational social scientist before bringing that lens to marketing. His argument is that predictive models describe what's already happening, and marketing is about changing what's going to happen. Those are different jobs, and the data warehouse doesn't distinguish between them by default.TOBIAS KONITZER, Episode 212"The nature of predictive models is they represent the status quo. Someone is going to churn, or someone is not going to churn, but that is the status quo. And there is really no point for marketing if everything is just status quo. There is no marketing role here."He describes a CRM head at a billion-dollar outdoor brand who found that high LTV customers had a strong correlation with viewing a specific product, a pair of jeans. The obvious response was to push those jeans into the welcome flow. The correlation ran in the wrong direction, though. Those customers already had high LTV before they saw the jeans. The jeans showed up alongside the relationship, long after it was established.Scaling that logic into the welcome flow pushed irrelevant products onto a broad cohort with nothing in common with the original high-LTV segment. The analysis was reproducible and data-supported; it just never verified whether the jeans caused the high LTV or merely accompanied it. An agent running the same logic would scale the error across every customer who matched the surface pattern, efficiently and invisibly, before anyone stopped to ask.Tobias calls this lazy thinking, and risky thinking: analysis that feels like rigor because it's data-supported and reproducible, but skips the question that would disqualify the conclusion.The Boomerang Effect on AI that Erodes RevenueWhen you let agentic AI loose on the data warehouse it has access to a TON of data. That's amazing. But raw data and then events and actions often leads to predictions that are based on correlation, and not causation.For example, let's say you task an agent with improving the number of free users that convert to paying users. The agent sees in the past that a discount campaign to a certain cohort of active free users on a certain day resulted in a high % of paying user conversions.The agent concludes: this campaign works. Scale it.But what it can't see: those active free users were already the most likely to convert, they were on the edge of paying with or without the discount. The campaign didn't cause the conversions. It just correlated with them. The agent found the easiest pattern in the data and called it a lever.Run that campaign at scale and a few things happen. You hand discounts to users who would have paid ...

Hello Fluffle Fam! Welcome back for part two of our bonding series! If you haven't listened to part one yet, go back and start there first! Today we're picking up with Roo and Kumo: this one is a completely different story from what you heard last week. We tried the traditional bonding method. It failed within five minutes. We had to throw out the rulebook, trust our instincts, and find an approach that barely existed anywhere online. And then just when we thought we'd figured it out, we made a single mistake that sent everything crashing down and we had to start all over again. We hope you find this one helpful! Please note: always consult with a trusted exotic vet for advice specific to your bunny's individual needs! Video is available on Spotify and YouTube!

What's up folks, welcome to our 4 part series of Crawling through the dungeon of martech architecture. You've arrived at Part 2: The Eye of Context.We cover:(00:00) - Intro (00:56) - In This Episode (01:28) - Sponsor GrowthLoop (02:32) - Sponsor: GrowthBench (03:32) - Welcome Back (04:09) - FLOOR 2: THE EYE OF CONTEXT (06:15) - Why AI Produces Believable Nonsense (09:00) - BOSS BATTLE: The Hallucination Oracle (10:07) - Data Quality: When Agents Read Your Messy Data (22:33) - Context Engineering: What It Is and Why It's Not the Same as Prompt Engineering (24:28) - Sponsor: MoEngage (25:25) - Sponsor: Knak (26:30) - Context Eng vs Prompt Eng (38:58) - Why the Industry Built the Wrong Semantic Layer in 2012 (46:33) - How Context Rot and Fragmentation Break AI Agent Performance (49:59) - BOSS BATTLE: Rotten Context Mage (50:37) - How to Build a Shared Context Layer for AI Agents (58:17) - Testing Whether Your Context Layer Works (01:01:35) - NEW ACHIEVEMENT: The Meaning Layer Is Live ---------------------------------------------------------------------------OPENING---------------------------------------------------------------------------Welcome back to the Dungeon of Martech Architecture.You've arrived at part 2. If this is your starting point, check out part 1 where we cleared the first floor's boss in 2 forms: The False Truth King in the CRM, and The Export Hydra that spread it everywhere. That said, if you already have a data warehouse, you might be able to start right here.Episode 1: CRM GravityWe conquered the source of truth and discovered that the data warehouse replaces the CRM with portable audiences.Episode 2: The Eye of ContextToday, we learn why AI fails without shared meaning, build the context engineering layer, and dig into why the industry built the wrong kind of meaning infrastructure in 2012.Episode 3: The Correlation MasqueradeNext, we escape the correlation trap and build the causal memory layer that separates agents that optimize correctly from agents that confidently scale the wrong behavior.Episode 4: The Dispatch TowerThen, we tackle the governance chaos of 30 vendors all claiming authority, and confront the interface decision that most organizations already made without realizing it.Let's start our descent.---------------------------------------------------------------------------FLOOR 2: THE EYE OF CONTEXT — AI Hallucinations, Data Quality, and Context Engineering---------------------------------------------------------------------------The layout of the second floor down the dungeon of martech architecture actually looks pretty fancy. It's cozy, it looks modern, the whole palace is lined with mirrors. But it's a bit creepy because once you look a little closer at the reflections, you notice that some of the details are off. The boss on this floor is low key danger that sneaks up on way too many teams – not like the big flashy monsters from the past 2 floors.Let's say you have a new AI system running on your marketing data. You've got it producing stuff like scores, recommendations, campaign ideas. Initially, it actually looks solid.There's no obvious AI sentence structures in the summaries, they read well.The scores next to accounts seem to make sense: higher ones next to well known brands and lower ones are gmail accounts.The campaign ideas are actually pretty fresh, you can tell that it's tailored for your ICP.Every output is delivered with impeccable confidence.So the next step is asking yourself… how would you know if it was wrong?There's a lot of obvious hallucinations that you probably catch when you chat with GPT or Claude, like totally inventing stuff. I'm talking about the details. The kind of wrong that passes the first glance. We've all seen that viral post on r/analytics about a company that found out AI has been making up analytics data for 3 months. Whether this post is from a real story or not, some versions of this are happening inside companies today. But this is happening everywhere right now. Even at some of the top AI companies on the planet. I've talked to technical marketing leaders that have greenlit agentic tools at their startups before the data definitions were settled. One of them called it ‘believable nonsense', and that term kinda stuck with me. It's the most dangerous form of hallucination, it sneaks up on you.This floor is harder than the last because the traps on the previous level were visible, once you knew what to look for: CRM exports nobody trusted, audience logic duplicated across platforms, copies drifting from the original. You felt that, you saw that. This floor's failures are designed to look like success, until you dig into the details and look under the hood.Let's look at the origins of The Hallucination Oracle boss. Why AI Produces Believable NonsenseHumans are wired to trust smooth, confident talkers. It's actually baked into our evolution and how our brains develop from infancy. Studies on babies and brain scans show this is an innate thing that kicks in early.A person who sounds certain usually knows something, right?LLMs and AI systems break this calibration, they produce fluency without necessarily producing correctness. At first glance, the output sounds right for structural reasons, not evidential ones. And once something sounds right, we engage with it differently. We forward it. We build on it. We present it to stakeholders who don't have the context to question it.This is similar to the The False Truth King boss from the first floor in episode 1, but this is at the intelligence layer: output that has been processed, synthesized, and returned with all the structural markers of a trustworthy answer, but the problem is the reasoning underneath it is hollow.That's Jason Dobbs, Head of Marketing & GTM Engineering at Kumo. He greenlit agentic analytics and predictive workflows at his startup before the team had settled on shared data definitions. The system produced outputs that looked reasonable right up until someone started asking follow-up questions:JASON DOBBS, Kumo AI"What made it dangerous wasn't really like the obvious hallucination. What we were seeing looked polished enough to be operational. At first glance the scores looked precise, the summary sounded coherent, the recommendations felt data-backed. But the moment you ask the simple follow-up questions -- why did you choose this account? What data drove this decision? -- the logic started to thin out. The lesson wasn't that the data was bad or the warehouse was bad or the model was bad. What was wrong is we were trying to automate ambiguity. We were asking AI to solve for confusion that we hadn't yet ourselves solved for internally. And once you do that, you enter the danger zone because the failure is essentially believable nonsense."This is some scary stuff right? When this believable nonsense gets trusted long enough to make it into a campaign, a decision, a board slide. Obvious hallucinations are easy to catch. Confident, polished, data-backed nonsense gets through more often than we think.The good news is that we already have a weapon perfect to slay this boss, we shaped it in the last episode: the data warehouse. It houses data. Data is how we defeat believable nonsense… but we need to enhance it.---------------------------------------------------------------------------BOSS BATTLE: The Hallucination Oracle----------------------------------------...

Hello Fluffle Fam! Today's episode is all about how we bonded our bunnies (part 1)! Before we get into our own stories though, I'm covering everything you need to know first: should you even get your bunny a friend, what the bonding methods are and how they actually differ, and what you need to have in place before you even attempt it. And then we get into the story of Roo and Linus: our very first bonding experience that worked out more beautifully than we ever could have hoped. Plus, the story of Roo and Timo, and why and how this bond didn't come together the way we hoped. This is part one of two. Part two is coming next week and it'll be all about our third pairing - Roo & Kumo! Please note: always consult with a trusted exotic vet for advice specific to your bunny's individual needs!

Hello Fluffle Fam! It's a Nibbles day! Just a short little story for you today, a little nibble of joy for your day. Today I'm talking about whether Roo & Kumo share their food. The short answer? It depends. The longer answer involves Roo eating like a paper shredder, Kumo inhaling his pellets, them cleverly stealing from each other, and us having to actively intervene on both of their behalf at munchtimes. They love each other deeply. They do not always love sharing. Video is available on Spotify and YouTube!

Vor genau einem Jahr stand die Zukunft der Luzerner Indie-Festivalinstitution noch auf wackligen Beinen. Die Jubiläumsausgabe musste per Crowdfunding gerettet werden. 12 Monate später sieht alles wieder viel besser aus – und das Team hat ein hervorragendes Programm für die 21. Ausgabe gebucht. Zusammen mit Benedikt Geisseler und Sam Aebi vom B-Sides Festival (Donnerstag, 18. bis Samstag, 20. Juni) hören wir uns heute durch die Highlights des Line-ups, das nächste Woche auf dem Sonnenberg über Kriens bei Luzern gastiert (Nation of Language! PVA! Luzai! Kumo 99!), und klären, mit welchen Challenges der gegenwärtigen Bookingkultur ein kleines Festival zu kämpfen hat. Oh, und natürlich wollen wir wissen, ob die Entscheidung, am Donnerstagabend auch den Nati-Match der Fussball-WM zu zeigen, intern für Diskussionen gesorgt hat.

Jure Leskovec, Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University and Chief Scientist at Kumo.ai, speaks with host Sriram Panyam about relational and graph language models and their transformative impact on enterprise decision-making and predictive modeling. Jure begins by establishing the critical importance of predictive modeling across industries - from fraud detection in financial institutions to customer churn prediction, lifetime value estimation, product recommendations, and healthcare risk assessment. He notes that while AI has made remarkable advances in natural language understanding and computer vision, predictive modeling over enterprise operational data stored in relational databases has been largely left behind, still relying on 30-year-old machine learning approaches that are expensive, time-consuming, and require manual feature engineering. His proposed solution to the fundamental problem with current approaches is relational deep learning and relational transformers. The discussion explores how this approach differs from traditional graph neural networks (GNNs), which Jure pioneered and deployed successfully at Pinterest. Jure concludes with practical guidance for software engineers and data scientists interested in exploring this technology.

Hello Fluffle Fam! People often are not aware of how unique and different every single bunny is from another. Today's episode is a loving tribute to the very specific, very individual, sometimes completely inexplicable things that my four bunnies do/did. From Roo's mysterious rug opinions and snow flops, to Kumo's upstairs zoomies detours and wiggly dances, to Linus kissing inanimate objects and Timo's obsession with foot snuggles - these are four completely distinct little souls and our stories will show that. This one made me laugh and it made my heart very full. I hope it does the same for you.

In this episode, Jure Leskovec, co-founder and chief scientist at Kumo and professor of computer science at Stanford, joins us to explore two fronts of his work: AI for science and relational deep learning. We begin with AI Virtual Cell, a multiscale effort to learn data-driven representations from proteins to cells to patients using single-cell RNA-seq data, protein language models like ESM, and structure models like AlphaFold—without hand-encoding biology. Jure then dives into relational deep learning, reframing enterprise databases as graphs and training neural networks directly on raw multi-table data. He explains Kumo's Relational Foundation Model (RFM2), which performs in-context learning over subgraphs to make accurate predictions on new databases and tasks with no training, and how this approach benchmarks against RelBench and other multi-table datasets. We also discuss real-world deployments at companies like Reddit, DoorDash, and Coinbase, explainability via attention over tables and columns, integration with agentic systems, deployment options, and practical limitations. The complete show notes for this episode can be found at https://twimlai.com/go/768.

Hello Fluffle Fam! Today's episode is all about Roo and Kumo - specifically, what life actually looks like now that they're bonded. It is not all sweet and soft and full of rainbows and butterflies. I mean, most of it is. But just like any relationship, bonded bunnies can still have their moments. We're talking the flopping, the grooming, the zoomie chaos, the FOMO following AND also the bum nips, the grooming refusals, and the occasional tension and spats.

Helloooo! We're back! And this time, we have video! That's right, you finally get to put a face to the bunmom voice. In today's episode I'm sharing the things that having my four bunnies - Roo, Linus, Timo, and Kumo - has taught me. Things I never expected, didn't see coming, and wouldn't trade for anything. It's personal, it's a little funny, and it comes straight from the heart. Grab your cup of tea and come sit with me. I'm so glad you're here. Video is available on Spotify and YouTube! Come watch over there if you want to finally see bunmom in person!

Podcast Horreur: La pluie tombait sur Paris quand Kumo a commencé à gratter contre la porte vitrée. Dix minutes plus tôt, il tournait encore dans la cour intérieure comme chaque soir, museau bas, pelage trempé, sans rien laisser paraître. Puis il y a eu ce cri. Pas un simple aboiement, pas la plainte d'un chien nerveux, mais un son d'agonie assez étrange pour figer tout l'immeuble. En regardant dehors, il n'y avait d'abord que la boue, les flaques et les murs noirs de pluie. Puis quelque chose a semblé ramper entre les ombres.Dans cet épisode de Dans l'Ombre des Légendes, Chandleyr vous entraîne dans une légende urbaine paris où le quotidien bascule en quelques secondes vers la terreur. Ce creepypasta français explore ce moment précis où un espace banal devient un piège, où une simple cour intérieure cesse d'être familière, et où même un grand chien comprend avant son maître qu'il ne faut plus avancer. Les arbres sont griffés, les silhouettes paraissent déformées, et sous la pluie une présence articulée d'une façon impossible s'approche des vitres sans jamais vraiment se montrer.Entre horreur psychologique et peur primitive, cette histoire suit une menace tapie dans les angles morts de la capitale. Plus Kumo hurle, plus une question s'impose : qu'est-ce qui rôde réellement dehors quand Paris semble vide, et pourquoi ce qui l'a traqué ne semblait déjà plus humain ?Podcast Horreur

En este episodio #254 de Hablemos de comida tuve a la Chef Ejecutiva de Rest. Kumo y Awwa en Isla verde. Marielys empezó su carrera en 2008 y poco a poco se ha hecho un nombre con creatividad, liderazgo y una pasión por fusionar sabores. En Kumo, lidera como Corporate Executive Chef un rooftop con vibes japonesas y modernas, mientras que en Awwa (dentro del hotel Aire de Olive) creó un raw bar “playa chic”: ceviche, tiraditos, ostras… todo inspirado en Perú, con pesca fresca del día, toques afrodisíacos y un menú que grita “mar en plato”. Ella misma lo define así: “Quiero que cada bocado quede en la memoria, que el espacio tenga su propia identidad”.Como chef mujer, ha roto techos: ha colaborado en eventos top (hasta cenas pre-Super Bowl para figuras como Shaquille O'Neal), ha sido nominada por innovación y fusión en premios como APUGA, y trabaja codo a codo con socios como Erik Rivera (dueño también de Yoko) siempre destacada por su visión: transformar ingredientes locales en experiencias sensoriales, frescas y audaces.

Send us a textFresh off a high-profile appearance on CNBC's Worldwide Exchange discussing how AI will move beyond chatbots to autonomous agents that reshape jobs and productivity! Replay this episode where Jure digs into why structured data is still lagging behind the AI revolution and what comes next for predictive AI on relational data.Data's everywhere, but so often it feels… stuck.

Stanford professor and Kumo.ai co-founder Jure Leskovec introduces the concept of a relational foundation model for structured enterprise data. Subscribe to the Gradient Flow Newsletter

Dr. Jure Leskovec is the Chief Scientist at Kumo.AI and a Stanford professor, working on relational foundation models and graph-transformer systems that bring enterprise databases into the foundation-model era.Relational Foundation Models: Unlocking the Next Frontier of Enterprise AI // MLOps Podcast #348 with Jure Leskovec, Professor and Chief Scientist, Stanford University and Kumo.AI.Join the Community: https://go.mlops.community/YTJoinInGet the newsletter: https://go.mlops.community/YTNewsletter// AbstractToday's foundation models excel at text and images—but they miss the relationships that define how the world works. In every enterprise, value emerges from connections: customers to products, suppliers to shipments, molecules to targets. This talk introduces Relational Foundation Models (RFMs)—a new class of models that reason over interactions, not just data points. Drawing on advances in graph neural networks and large-scale ML systems, I'll show how RFMs capture structure, enable richer reasoning, and deliver measurable business impact. Audience will learn where relational modeling drives the biggest wins, how to build the data backbone for it, and how to operationalize these models responsibly and at scale.// BioJure Leskovec is the co-founder of Kumo.AI, an enterprise AI company pioneering AI foundation models that can reason over structured business data. He is also a Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University and a leading researcher in artificial intelligence, best known for pioneering Graph Neural Networks and creating PyG, the most widely used graph learning toolkit. Previously, Jure served as Chief Scientist at Pinterest and as an investigator at the Chan Zuckerberg BioHub. His research has been widely adopted in industry and government, powering applications at companies such as Meta, Uber, YouTube, Amazon, and more. He has received top awards in AI and data science, including the ACM KDD Innovation Award.// Related LinksWebsite: https://cs.stanford.edu/people/jure/https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jure+leskovecPlease watch Jure's keynote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rcfhh-V7x2U~~~~~~~~ ✌️Connect With Us ✌️ ~~~~~~~Catch all episodes, blogs, newsletters, and more: https://go.mlops.community/TYExploreJoin our Slack community [https://go.mlops.community/slack]Follow us on X/Twitter [@mlopscommunity](https://x.com/mlopscommunity) or [LinkedIn](https://go.mlops.community/linkedin)] Sign up for the next meetup: [https://go.mlops.community/register]MLOps Swag/Merch: [https://shop.mlops.community/]Connect with Demetrios on LinkedIn: /dpbrinkmConnect with Jure on LinkedIn: /leskovecTimestamps:[00:00] Structured data value[00:26] Breakdown of ML Claims[05:04] LLMs vs recommender systems[10:09] Building a relational model[15:47] Feature engineering impact[20:42] Knowledge graph inference[26:45] Advertising models scale[32:57] Feature stores evolution[38:00] Training model compute needs[42:34] Predictive AI for agents[45:32] Leveraging faster predictive models[48:00] Wrap up

Hear how data is rewriting the rules—and driving the future of innovation. Dr. Vanja breaks down his approach to enterprise AI, and the key strategies for success. He shares what it means to be a “data-forward organization” and why data must sit at the heart of how a company operates. Discover why integration speed is the new competitive edge Key Moments:Data as a Core Enterprise Asset (6:04): Dr. Vanja defines what it means to be a “data-forward organization,” emphasizing that data shouldn't be an afterthought—it must sit at the heart of how a company operates, makes decisions, and serves customers.Relational Foundation Models for Predictive AI (16:26): Dr. Vanja explains how Kumo uses transformer architectures on raw relational data to eliminate 95% of traditional ML tasks like feature engineering—bringing pre-trained, multi-purpose prediction models into the structured data world.Integration Speed as a Competitive Edge (27:03): It's no longer just about who builds the fastest—but who integrates the fastest. Dr. Vanja shares how companies that can quickly adopt and scale best-in-class third-party tools will define the next generation of winners.The Case for Rebuilding at 10x Advantage (29:02): Dr. Vanja urges leaders to rethink old systems if a new approach offers a 10x cost or performance improvement. Sticking with outdated architectures out of fear or inertia risks falling behind during pivotal transitions.Key Quotes:“The key asset is the data that you have… You need to build the whole enterprise around this data. It's not an afterthought — it's at the center of the organization and how it functions.” - Dr. Vanja“Companies that integrate the fastest — not just build the fastest — will win.” - Dr. Vanja“If you really value your data, you need to stay in the cloud… If the cost is your only driver, then do what you want — but you'll miss out on the majority of new technologies.” - Dr. VanjaMentions:Build AI Models for Relational DataThe New Cloud Era of Data Platform Hosted AppsKumo unveils world's first Relational Foundation Model (RFM) for instant predictions on enterprise dataGuest Bio: Dr. Vanja Josifovski is the Co-Founder and CEO of Kumo. Prior to Kumo, Vanja was the CTO at Airbnb & Pinterest.
