Episode notes
Boring Tech
- Prioritize boring, mainstream technologies over bespoke solutions for reduced risk.
- Focus on leveraging existing advantages rather than seeking heroic, individual solutions.
Innovation & Diversity
- Best-of-breed products drive innovation, while end-to-end platforms lag.
- Real-world problems are diverse; best-of-breed allows tailored solutions via incremental building.
End-to-End Benefits
- End-to-end MLOps platforms benefit enterprise AI by connecting data and models, facilitating model CICD.
- This approach allows better debugging, faster production, and scaling to multiple models, especially for common enterprise use cases.
