Introduction

One area of research and startups right now is how to run better and better models without upgrading hardware, since consumers don’t have the same infrastructure, says Leigh Marie Braswell, partner at Kleiner Perkins, in her discussion with Anurag Rana, senior software analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. Their insightful talk contrasts the experience and priorities of the startup landscape with the objectives of the largest public companies in generative AI and large language models. The pair’s combined visibility into the arena touches on all aspects of software, including unstructured data, code generation, automating technical debt and infrastructure.
