Fireside Chat - The Future of LLMs

David Hershey devoted most of his career to machine learning infrastructure and trying to abstract away the hairy systems complexity that gets in the way of people building amazing ML applications.

I'm the Managing Director of the AI Infrastructure Alliance, CEO of Kentauros AI, and the former Chief Intelligence Officer at Stability AI. I've also spent time at wonderful companies like Red Hat and Pachyderm. Over the years, I've worn many hats in business, from IT infrastructure engineering, to evangelism, to solutions architecture, to marketing and management.

But primarily, I think of myself as an author, engineer, and futurist who's current obsession is Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. More than anything I'm relentlessly curious. I love to learn and think about how things work and how things can be done better.

I've given talks all over the world and virtually on AI and cryptographic platforms. With more than 50K followers on Medium and a rapidly growing following on Substack, my articles have been read by more than 5 million people worldwide.

At the moment Demetrios is immersing himself in Machine Learning by interviewing experts from around the world in the weekly MLOps.community meetups. Demetrios is constantly learning and engaging in new activities to get uncomfortable and learn from his mistakes. He tries to bring creativity into every aspect of his life, whether that be analyzing the best paths forward, overcoming obstacles, or building lego houses with his daughter.
