Episode notes
Varun's Journey into AI
- Varun Mohan started working on large-scale deep learning workloads at Neuro, an autonomous vehicle company, in 2017.
- He later co-founded ExaFunction, focusing on GPU virtualization software to optimize deep learning applications.
Anshul's Parallel Path
- Anshul Ramachandran also worked at Neuro, later joining Varun at ExaFunction.
- They noticed the limitations of existing AI coding tools and the enterprise need for private code integration.
GPU Virtualization Challenges
- GPUs are challenging to virtualize due to limited memory, unlike CPUs which can handle multiple containers.
- This scarcity and high cost drove the need for efficient GPU utilization software.
