// Abstract

It's been two years, and we still seem to see AI disproportionately more in demos than production features. Why? And how can we apply engineering practices we've all learned in the past decades to our advantage here?

// Bio

Vaibhav is one of the creators of BAML and a YC alum. He spent 10 years in AI performance optimization at places like Google, Microsoft, and D.E. Shaw. He loves diving deep and chatting about anything related to Gen AI and Computer Vision!
