Open Weights Models – Interesting Applications.
by Chandra Pendyala The two most obvious use cases are now commonplace. Did we do anything else interesting? Yes we did! First the two obvious ones: 1, Availability of Hardware and Kernels that allow for cost efficient deployment of these models: Inference costs go down by upto 99%, finetuning costs go down by upto 50x..Depends […]
Stop Chasing Parameter Count: A Practical Recipe for GPT-4-Class Outcomes with SML + Logic Model + A2A + Engineered RAG + Verifiers
by Chandra Pendyala If your goal is reliable answers on real workloads (enterprise QA, doc analysis, math/coding with tools), you don’t need a frontier-scale LLM. A Small Language Model (SML, ~0.5–1B params) paired with a logic verifier, orchestrated through an Agent-to-Agent (A2A) workflow, and backed by an engineered RAG stack with strong verifiers can reach […]
Code Generators – The new disruptors?
by Chandra Pendyala Are code generators the new disruptors in the tech realm? In contemplating the impact of code generators on jobs and quality, a fundamental question arises: Is the shift from coding in punch cards to English to utilizing code generators a more transformative force? Taking this inquiry further, let’s delve into a more […]
MIT Report: 95% of Gen AI pilots Failing
by Chandra Pendyala MIT’s recent report highlighted a concerning trend: 95% of generative AI pilots in companies are failing. As experts called in to salvage these projects, I have a few observations: 1. **Avoid the AI Hype:** It’s crucial not to approach these initiatives solely as AI projects. Instead, focus on utilizing mature frameworks for […]
ML for the Industrial Supply Industry
by Chandra Pendyala Recently we launched a package of EnterpriseAIML services for the Dealer/Distributor and Industrial Supply segment. Four key problems could use intelligent automation in this industry: Sales Intelligence: Sales Intelligence trained on order history can provide a prioritized list of sales leads for the sales force to act on. The system can pro-actively […]
Hype Vs Reality Gen AI
by Chandra Pendyala A very sensible article from Gartner: Summarized in a good picture below. Generalized intelligence, LLMs trained to understand every thing and predict future.. some times hype cycle gets out of control.. We should not run around with a hammer claiming every thing is a nail.. screws need screwdrivers not hammers.
A CEO’s guide to investing into AI/ML
by Chandra Pendyala A CEO’s non-technical guide to investing into Machine Learning and Data Science CEOs are contending with a lot of technology buzz words. In this article I intend to convert the discussion about Data Science and Machine Learning into a business discussion. I will propose a few simple questions and make some assertions […]
CIO’s considerations while acquiring AI/ML Capabilities
by Chandra Pendyala CIOs are contending with a lot of technology buzz words. In this article I intend to convert the discussion about Data Science and Machine Learning into a business discussion. There are some important differences between the usual technology acquisition programs and these technologies. I will address those differences and propose some upgrades […]
Is OR from Mars and ML from Venus?
by Chandra Pendyala How do we model the real world in computers? How do we solve real world problems with computers? Math is neat, it captures the truth without any of the unnecessary ugliness. Most importantly it gives us millennia of accumulated tools to make sense out of a model of reality. But is it […]
A VP’s check list for monitoring AI/ML projects
by Chandra Pendyala Enthusiastic engineers are cranking out quick AI/ML prototypes at great speed. This check list tries to help VPs shepherd this energy into valuable solutions for the business. Business Value Promise: Traditional project gating and prioritizing methods work here. The only upgrade needed for traditional methods is in the computation of life time costs […]
