Episode notes

We brought a lot of scheduling capabilities that were really needed around as far as work. We bought them into the Kubernetes wall. So we bring in our batch schedule capabilities related to pre-end quarters, to queue workloads. And at the end, what it allows teams to do, it allows them to first of all get a guaranteed quota, a way to get access to their GPUs. But they are not related to the guaranteed quota. They can always go around the water, use more GPU, run more workloads.

Nathan Labenz sits down with Dr. Ronen Dar, CTO and co-founder of Run:ai, an Israel-based company that helps enterprises train and deploy AI models by optimizing GPU usage. The discussion covers how chip makers can meet the soaring demands, geopolitical fears, to the best practices companies can secure compute capacity.

With a lineup of industry vets and experts, Nolan and Kelli break down the nitty-gritty details, trade offs, and dynamics of constructing high performing companies. Through unfiltered conversations that can only happen between seasoned practitioners, Kelli and Nolan dive deep into the kind of leadership-level strategy that often happens behind closed doors.
