Episode notes
Vaibhav's Deep Learning Journey
- Vaibhav Gupta initially doubted deep learning's efficacy, favoring mathematical approaches in computer vision.
- His perspective shifted after observing deep learning's dominance in CVPR papers around 2017.
Combining AI and Algorithms
- AI models offer flexibility but lack consistency, while algorithms provide consistency but lack flexibility.
- Combining both AI and algorithms creates the most sophisticated and effective systems.
BAML: A New Programming Language for AI
- BAML is a new programming language designed to improve the reliability and consistency of AI models, particularly LLMs.
- It addresses the inherent inconsistency of models while leveraging their flexibility, similar to how React or Tailwind improve upon existing web technologies.
