In this, the kickoff episode of AI Platforms Vol. 2, we're joined by Adrien Gaidon, Machine Learning Lead at Toyota Research Institute. Adrien and I caught up to discuss his team’s work on deploying distributed deep learning in the cloud, at scale. In our conversation, we discuss:  • The beginning and gradual scaling up of TRI's platform. • Their distributed deep learning methods, including their use of stock Pytorch, and much more!
