Episode notes

They discuss a hackathon focused on open source generative AI models and introduce Casper, a contributor to a book on open source AI. Casper shares their journey into open source AI and the challenges and successes they encountered. They also discuss their background in machine vision and their preference for industry over academia.

The new open source AI book from PremAI starts with “As a data scientist/ML engineer/developer with a 9 to 5 job, it’s difficult to keep track of all the innovations.” We couldn’t agree more, and we are so happy that this week’s guest Casper (among other contributors) have created this resource for practitioners.

During the episode, we cover the key categories to think about as you try to navigate the open source AI ecosystem, and Casper gives his thoughts on fine-tuning, vector DBs & more.
