The discussion revolves around the limitations of transformers in AI models and whether they are merely a temporary fix or a fundamental solution. The speaker questions whether current AI practices are essentially band-aids due to transformers being unsuitable tools. The conversation further delves into the complexities of using general-purpose models that require extensive coding workarounds to ensure desired outputs, prompting a reflection on whether the emphasis should be on fixing the root problem rather than applying superficial solutions.
Daniel & Chris delight in conversation with “the funniest guy in AI”, Demetrios Brinkmann. Together they explore the results of the MLOps Community’s latest survey. They also preview the upcoming AI Quality Conference.
