    All Bets Are Off: Say Hello to Interactive AI
    Jan 4 2024

    Just when you thought the AI game couldn't get more interesting, along comes Interactive AI! In a nutshell, this space involves the use of autonomous or semi-autonomous AI agents that collaborate with each other and traditional software systems to get things done. Think chatbots on steroids. There are many use cases, but all share a common thread: intelligent automation that tackles tedious tasks so people can liberate themselves for higher-value work. What does this mean for you and your organization? Check out 2024's inaugural DM Radio to find out! Host @eric_kavanagh will interview Sanjeev Mohan of SanjMo, Usama Fayyad of Northeastern University, and a special guest! Topics will include how to make AI faster, how to reduce costs by running models on existing commercial hardware with CPUs, how to make AI more actionable; and how Mistral's new Mixtral-8x7B uses a Mixture of Experts that chains together smaller models that are more targeted and efficient.

  • Hybrid Cloud and the Need for Unified Analytics

    Hybrid Cloud and the Need for Unified Analytics
    Dec 14 2023
    In the old days of analytics, engineers would spend hours fine-tuning the database to optimize query times for high-value workloads. The result was highly efficient analysis on-prem. Then along came the cloud with its remarkable scalaility. Need more compute? No problem! But with hardware and software often bundled, there's no incentive for that bespoke engineering. And up go the costs!

    That's why some organizations are repatriating analytic workloads from the cloud. According to one CTO, for the price they were paying in the cloud, “I could re-buy the hardware every three months.” How prevalent is this? Ceck out this episode of DM Radio to find out! Host @eric_kavanagh will interview Paige Roperts of OpenText Vertica, and Eugene Burke of Digital Strategies Group. They'll discuss the pros and cons of cloud vs on-prem, and why most solutions will remain hybrid for years to come.
