Pinecone Vector Database with Marek Galovic
An embedding is a concept in machine learning that refers to a particular representation of text, images, audio, or other information. Embeddings are designed to make data consumable by ML models.
However, storing embeddings presents a challenge to traditional databases. Vector databases are designed to solve this problem.
Pinecone has developed one of the most prominent vector databases that is widely used for ML and AI applications.
Marek Galovic is a software engineer at Pinecone and works on the core database team. He joins the podcast today to talk about how vector embeddings are created, engineering a vector database, unsolved challenges in the space, and more.

Weights & Biases with Chris Van Pelt
Machine learning model research requires running expensive, long-running experiments where even a slight mis-calibration can cost millions of dollars in underutilized compute resources. Once trained, model deployment, production monitoring, and observability requirements all present unique operational challenges.
Chris Van Pelt is the Chief Information Officer of Weights and Biases, which is the industry standard in experiment monitoring and visualization, and has expanded that expertise into a comprehensive suite of ML Ops tooling including model management, deployment, and monitoring.
Chris joins us today to discuss the state of the machine learning ecosystem at large, as well as some of their more recent work around production LLM tracing and monitoring.
