Vishal Misra

In this engaging conversation, Vishal Misra, a distinguished computer science professor at Columbia University, delves into the limitations of large language models (LLMs) in making scientific discoveries. Sharing insights from his research on retrieval-augmented generation, he argues that while LLMs have evolved rapidly, they can't fundamentally create new scientific paradigms. Co-host Martin Casado adds a technical perspective, discussing the need for new architectures in AI and why current models might be plateauing. Together, they explore the implications for artificial general intelligence.
