Podcasts about nervana

In 2014, Naveen Rao left his researcher job at Qualcomm to co-found machine intelligence platform Nervana. About two and a half years later, Nervana sold to Intel for more than $400 million. After a few years at Intel, Naveen became CEO and co-founder of open source startup MosaicML, which helped companies build and train large AI models more efficiently and affordably. Approximately two and a half years later, Databricks acquired that company for $1.3 billion and made him VP of Generative AI. Naveen is a neuroscientist with multiple exits, so we spoke at length about shifting from engineering into entrepreneurship. If you have a technical role and are considering starting up, he shares his perspective on balancing day-to-day responsibilities while validating your idea, the importance of challenging industry assumptions, and finding your market niche.  We also talked about who should — and should not — startup in stealth and addressed some of the current challenges facing the generative AI startup ecosystem, such as the rapid failure rates of companies due to high GPU costs and overinvestment in 2021-2022.  Runtime: 51:16 EPISODE BREAKDOWN (2:54) “Evidence is always less than you want. At some point you kind of have to take a leap.” (5:37) “My journey with Nervana was, it was immediately clear to me that the world needed this.” (11:52) “Get in the head of someone who's going to exchange money for your services and products.” (14:54) Why he's not a big fan of remote work. (18:35) “It is on you as an adult to find balance that you can work with. It is not the company's duty to do this.” (20:31) Why product companies should “probably not” startup in stealth. (23:11) “It wasn't the right time to sell. I didn't look at it like that at all.” (26:32) Hiring and retaining generative AI talent is “a hard problem right now.” (30:16) “Companies are failing pretty fast because the GPU spends are so big.” (35:04) Interacting with Databricks' developer community. (43:11) Naveen on accelerators: “I think there are actually faster ways to learn.” (45:05) When it comes to angel investing, “I'm looking for creativity, honestly.” (47:34) If you were interviewing for a job with an early-stage startup, what's one question you'd have to ask the CEO?  LINKS Naveen Rao @NaveenGRao Databricks Databricks picks up MosaicML, an OpenAI competitor, for $1.3B Intel is paying more than $400 million to buy deep-learning startup Nervana Systems The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion, Jonathan Haidt Ali Partovi Subscribe to Fund/Build/Scale on Substack: fundbuildscale.substack.com  

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.

My guest this month is Naveen Rao, the co-founder of MosaicML and current head of Generative AI at Databricks. Naveen's journey is unique, as it echoes the evolution of AI itself. He's best known for founding and selling two successful companies. The first, Nervana, an AI-focused chip company, was acquired by Intel for $400 million in 2016. The second, MosaicML, was acquired by Databricks in June for $1.3 billion. In our conversation, we unpack the insights and frameworks that led Naveen to make these bets in the first place. We begin by exploring his long history in AI research and startups, from his early days at Qualcomm, his founding of Nervana, and the genesis of MosaicML. We then turn to the complexities of the ever-changing AI landscape and go behind the scenes of MosaicML's acquisition by Databricks. We close with Naveen's takes on the most urgent questions in AI, including the recent tumult at OpenAI, the road to AGI, the role of regulation, and where he thinks generative AI will go next. What struck me most is Naveen's remarkable ability to not only anticipate the future but also actively pave the path toward it. For founders looking to navigate our current AI moment, this episode is full of valuable lessons.

We wrap up our Future of Compute series with a leading force in the field, Naveen Rao. Rao founded Nervana Systems, the first next-gen AI chip company, which he sold to Intel. He then drove Intel's AI road map before stepping down from the company in 2020, and just recently announced the founding of MosaicML, an AI startup focused on making algorithms more efficient through what he calls here a 'benchmarking as a service' approach. Given his interest in AI stretching back over two decades and his front seat position in the field, Rao's perspective on the competitive landscape, on how things have changed from Nervana to Mosaic, and the challenges facing merchant silicon firms is both valuable and a nice wrap-up of the three part series. He gives his take on the Nvidia/ARM deal, Intel's position, the supply chain, and a lot more. Check out MosaicML, as well as their twitter account and Naveen's.

On today's Passive Income Investment Idea Episode we are analyzing Intel, ticker INTC. Intel is a High Quality, Wide Moat Company Selling at a Significant Discount to Fair Value. Intel Corp is one of the world's largest chipmakers. It designs and manufactures microprocessors for the global personal computer and data center markets. Intel pioneered the x86 architecture for microprocessors. It is also the prime proponent of Moore's law for advances in semiconductor manufacturing. While Intel's server processor business has benefited from the shift to the cloud, the firm has also been expanding into new adjacencies as the personal computer market has declined. These include areas such as the Internet of Things, memory, artificial intelligence, and automotive. Intel has been active on the merger and acquisitions front, recently acquiring Altera, Mobileye, Nervana, Movidius, and Habana Labs in order to assist its efforts in non-PC arenas. As of Oct. 28, 2020, Intel has an A+ S&P Credit Rating with a 32% LT Debt/Capital. Morningstar rates Intel as Wide Moat with a Negative Moat Trend, Standard Stewardship, and Medium Fair Value Uncertainty currently trading Significantly Undervalued at a 35% Discount to Fair Value and 5 Star Rating. Analysis of the historical trends using FastGraphs shows that both Earnings and Operating Cash Flow have similar correlation with stock price over time. The historical Price to Earnings Multiple Range has been Wide, ranging from 12-18. Over the past 10 years, however, the range has been between 12-13. Currently the Blended PE is 9.34, an approximate 25% discount to the mid-point of the historical range. This translates to a 10.71% Blended Adjusted Earnings Yield. The consensus of 16 Analysts expect Intel to grow earnings an average of 1.62% per year between today and the end of 2022. The trailing 10 YR Earnings Growth has averaged 9% per year and traded at an average P/E ratio of 12.96. Therefore, the company is projected to grow Earnings Slower than in the past. As such, we should use the low end of the historical multiple's range at best for valuing the company today. Assuming Intel grows Earnings at a rate of 1.62% annually and reverts to a valuation of 12 times Earnings, an investment today would return over 16% Annualized. The current price is $45.64 and our Target Sell Price based on Projected Earnings is $61. Moreover, you would lock in a Dividend Yield of 2.9% with a Low Payout Ratio of 25%. As a bonus, the Current and Trailing Twelve Month Buyback Yield is 9.47% for a Total Yield of 12.33%. Additionally, Intel has High Operating Performance with 5 Yr Average Return on Equity of 22%, Return on Invested Capital of 16% and Net Margin of 23%. Overall, here at the Business and Investing Sherpa, we are opportunistically adding more shares of this High Quality, Wide Moat Company to our Portfolio to generate Passive Income of around 3% in the form of Dividends while targeting a Total Annualized Return of 16% with a current target Sell Price of $61 between now and the end of 2022. For an even better option, we are Selling Cash-Covered Puts to generate either guaranteed returns over 15% annualized or an even better entry position into Intel at a lower price.

Books I've Loved — Steve Jurvetson | Brought to you by Four Sigmatic.Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, where it is my job to sit down with world-class performers of all different types—from startup founders and investors to chess champions to Olympic athletes. This episode, however, is an experiment and part of a shorter series I'm doing called "Books I've Loved." I've invited some amazing past guests, close friends, and new faces to share their favorite books — the books that have influenced them, changed them, and transformed them for the better. I hope you pick up one or two new mentors — in the form of books — from this new series and apply the lessons in your own life.Steve Jurvetson (@jurvetson) is an early-stage venture capitalist with a focus on founder-led, mission-driven companies at the cutting edge of disruptive technology and new industry formation. Steve was the early VC investor in SpaceX, Tesla, Planet, Memphis Meats, Hotmail, and the deep learning companies Mythic and Nervana.

He currently serves on the boards of Tesla, SpaceX, and D-Wave.Please enjoy!You can find all books mentioned in this episode in the show notes.This podcast is brought to you by Four Sigmatic. I reached out to these Finnish entrepreneurs after a very talented acrobat introduced me to one of their products, which blew my mind (in the best way possible). It is mushroom coffee featuring Lion's Mane. It tastes like coffee, but there are only 40 milligrams of caffeine, so it has less than half of what you would find in a regular cup of coffee. I do not get any jitters, acid reflux, or any type of stomach burn.

In this episode of SMACtalk, captured live at Intel Shift, host Daniel Newman sat down with Amir Khosrowshahi. Amir, who quietly revealed that he is cousin to the new Uber CEO, is also quite impressive in his own right as he made a significant Silicon Valley exit when his former company, Nervana was purchased by Intel. Amir is now the CTO of the AI Products group at Intel and he shared with SMACtalk a number of tremendous insights on AI. First, he painted the picture of how AI will be utilized in more commercial applications. He backed that up with giving CTO and tech leaders inside the enterprise a roadmap for deploying AI and perhaps just as important, Mapping AI strategy to be able to compete in the future as AI continues to proliferate. Lastly, Khosrowshahi touched on how Intel is differentiating its AI strategy from the competition. Check out this exciting discussion and get your “Geek” on with SMACtalk. Amir Khosrowshahi, VP & CTO, Artificial Intelligence Products Group, Intel Amir Khosrowshahi is VP and CTO of the AI products group at Intel. He was previously co-founder and CTO of Nervana, a startup acquired by Intel last year. He has a BA and MA from Harvard and PhD from Berkeley.

I talked about Intel’s acquisition of Nervana Systems on the podcast when it happened almost a year ago, so I was super excited to have an opportunity to sit down with Nervana co-founder Naveen Rao, who now leads Intel’s newly formed AI Products Group, for the first show in our O'Reilly AI series. We talked about how Intel plans to extend its leadership position in general purpose compute into the AI realm by delivering silicon designed specifically for AI, end-to-end solutions including the cloud, enterprise data center, and the edge; and tools that let customers quickly productize and scale AI-based solutions. I also spoke with Hanlin Tang, an algorithms engineer at Intel’s AIPG, about two tools announced at the conference: version 2.0 of Intel Nervana’s deep learning framework Neon and Nervana Graph, a new toolset for expressing and running deep learning applications as framework and hardware-independent computational graphs. Nervana Graph in particular sounds like a very interesting project, not to mention a smart move for Intel, and I’d encourage folks to take a look at their Github repo. The show notes for this page can be found at https://twimlai.com/talk/31

Dr. Naveen Rao, VP and GM for Intel Machine Learning Solutions, joins us live from Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. Dr. Rao recently joined Intel following the acquisition of Nervana Systems, which Dr. Rao cofounded. Dr. Rao seeks to understand biological computation in order to build smarter, more intuitive devices that interact with us in more natural ways. In this podcast, Dr. Rao discusses his and Nervana's early history, accelerating deep learning workloads with technologies like the Nervana Engine custom processor, and how Intel's acquisition of Nervana will allow Dr. Rao's team to think in completely different ways. For more information on Dr. Rao's work, please visit http://nervanasys.com and follow Nervana at https://twitter.com/nervanasys.

Nidhi Chappell, the Director of Machine Learning Strategy at Intel joins us to announce Intel’s planned acquisition of Nervana Systems to further drive Intel’s capabilities in the artificial intelligence (AI) field. She describes how AI is quickly becoming a mainstream technology and is driving significant change in many industries today evolving common workloads like banking transactions, internet searches, smart factories, and more. Nidhi emphasizes how the expertise of Nervana Systems in deep learning and neural networks has the opportunity to benefit Intel’s AI innovation. To learn more, visit www.intel.com/machinelearning
