Tanmay Chopra on Emissary - Weaviate Podcast #75!

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for watching the 75th Weaviate Podcast featuring Tanmay Chopra! The podcast details Tanmay's incredible career in Machine Learning from Tik Tok to Neeva and now building his own startup, Emissary! Tanmay shared some amazing insights into Search AI such as how to process Temporal Queries, how to think about diversity in Retrieval, and Query Recommendation products! We then dove into the opportunity Tanmay sees in fine-tuning LLMs and knowledge distillation that motivated Tanmay to build Emissary! I thought Tanmay's analogy of GPT-4 to 3D printers was really interesting, tons of great nuggets in here! I really hope you enjoy the podcast, as always more than happy to answer any questions or discuss any ideas with you related to the content in the podcast!
