Hey everyone! Thank you so much for watching the 71st Weaviate Podcast with Vibs Abhishek! Vibs is the CEO and Founder of Alltius AI, as well as a professor at UC Irvine business school! In order to tame the somewhat chaotic emerging landscape of RAG and LLM applications, Alltius has settled on 3 core pillars of Knowledge, Skills, and Deployment Channels! Vibs further explained how he sees the distinction between Assistants and Agents and many more topics important to Enterprise deployment of RAG applications such as reducing hallucinations and employing classifiers to route skills and knowledge sources! I learned so much from this conversation, I hope you enjoy the podcast!
