Scaling laws are as important to artificial intelligence (AI) as the law of gravity is in the world around us. AI is the empirical science of this decade and follows laws similar to Moores law. James Wang is the speaker and is from Cerebras a company dedicated to turning state-of-the-art research on large language models (LLMs) into open-source data that developers across the world can reproduce. In this episode, James Wang, an ARK alum and product marketing specialist at Cerebras, joins ARK for a discussion centered around the past and the future of LLM development and why the generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) innovation taking place in this field is like nothing that has ever come before it (and has seemingly limitless possibilities). He also explains the motivation behind Cerebras’ unique approach and the benefits that their architecture and models provide to developers.
