​In the year since ChatGPT was introduced and quickly dominated headlines, interest in AI has skyrocketed. However, deploying and scaling Large Language Models (LLMs) in production has remained incredibly difficult due to their cost and complexity, and high-power consumption. Companies face increased data privacy and security concerns when running on externally hosted AI solutions that expose sensitive data.In this discussion focused hour, Subutai Ahmad, CEO of Numenta, will:

  • ​Provide an overview of the current Generative AI landscape and the challenges companies face in deploying LLMs
  • ​Briefly describe how deploying powerful LLMs at scale on CPUs, rather than GPUs, will change the landscape looking ahead to 2024

​Subutai Ahmad is the CEO of Numenta, with a background in Deep Learning and Neuroscience, and in building technology startups and research teams. Numenta was created in 2005 by the founders of Palm Computing, Jeff Hawkins and Donna Dubinsky, to research neuroscience and apply that research to improving AI.
