INSIGHT

Ray Compiled Graphs

  • Ray's new Compiled Graphs efficiently execute workloads across multiple, potentially non-homogeneous GPUs.
  • This addresses challenges with large models that don't fit on a single device, improving multi-GPU training and inference.
ANECDOTE

SB 1047 Vetoed

  • California Governor Newsom vetoed SB 1047, a bill aiming to regulate large AI models.
  • He cited unclear policy and opted for a more nuanced approach to AI regulation, appointing AI experts to guide the state's efforts.
ADVICE

Leverage Existing Structure

  • Don't be intimidated by knowledge graph creation in GraphRAG; leverage existing structure.
  • Use metadata, relational databases, or tools like Sycamore to improve retrieval before resorting to complex graph construction.
