Is It Counterintuitive to Think Compute-Hungry LLMs Can Work at the Edge? Two Tech Giants Map a Path
Mark Beccue, Research Director at The Futurum Group, examines Qualcomm and Meta’s partnership to implement Llama 2-based AI capabilities on smartphones and PCs starting in 2024. The idea that LLM applications could be run on compute-cost efficient edge devices is enough to make most AI application developers’ imaginations run wild, since this capability would bring lots of potential new use cases and business opportunities
On this episode of The Six Five – On The Road, hosts Daniel Newman and Patrick Moorhead welcome Splunk’s Chief Cybersecurity Advisor Paul Kurtz, Live from .conf23 in Las Vegas to discuss how the c-suite should be thinking about AI today.
Execs from major U.S. semiconductor companies recently met with Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to discuss relations with China, despite rumors that the Biden Administration is tightening restrictions. The Futurum Group’s Daniel Newman breaks down what these restrictions will mean for the U.S. semiconductor market.
Generative AI Could Reduce Enterprise Dependence on Data Science Expertise
Mark Beccue, Research Director at The Futurum Group, examines how generative AI could reduce enterprise dependence on data science expertise. The piece explores Google Cloud Engineering executive Andi Gutmans’ premise, which is bold and framed in a way that many have previously alluded to: that generative AI democratizes AI uses. Will GenEng emerge, and what are the potential impacts?
Latest Release Provides Support for Continuous Planning at Scale
Keith Kirkpatrick, Research Director at The Futurum Group covers Workday’s announcement of Elastic Hypercube Technology (EHT), which provides enterprise workforce planners with dynamic and elastic compute power, enabling them to incorporate more dimensionality and complexity into planning models, while supporting a high number of concurrent users without impacting speed or performance.
On this episode of The Six Five – On The Road, hosts Daniel Newman and Patrick Moorhead welcome Splunk’s CEO Gary Steele, live from .conf23 in Las Vegas to discuss their latest announcements, including Splunk Edge Hub, SplunkAI and more.
Major Investments Coming for Specific Areas of Generative AI
Mark Beccue, Research Director at The Futurum Group, examines the $1.3 billion investment in LLM provider Inflection, and the transaction’s implications for the industry. The Inflection funding marks a significant milestone in the generative AI landscape.
Ada Lovelace Institute Report Reveals the Challenge to Balancing Pro-Business AI Priorities With Pro-Consumer AI Protections
Mark Beccue, Research Director at The Futurum Group, examines a new Ada Lovelace Institute report that reveals the challenge to balancing pro-business AI wishes with pro-consumer AI protections. The piece explores how the current AI policy debate in the UK is a great example of the struggle to find equilibrium, where business can thrive and the public is sufficiently protected. The current AI Safety approach will not help the UK become an AI leader, and the approach is essentially a good example of what not to do to build sensible AI regulations that benefit business and the public.
