Al Engineering 101 with Chip Huyen (Nvidia, Stanford, Netflix)

The question that got asked a lot and a lot is how do we keep up to date with the latest AI news? Why why do you need to keep up to date with the latest AI news? If you talk to the users who understand what they want or they don't want look into the feedback, then it can actually improve the application way way way more. A lot of companies are building AI products. We are even ideal crisis. Now we have all this really cool tool to have do everything from scratch. It can have your write code, it can have your website. So in theory we should see a lot more. But at the same time people like somehow stuff. They don't know what to build. All is AI hype, the data is actually showing most companies try it, doesn't do a lot, they stop. What do you think is the gap here? It's really hard to measure productivity. So I do ask people to ask their managers would you rather have give everyone out of team very expensive coding Asian subscriptions or you get an extra head cow. Almost everyone that managers could say head cow. But if you ask VP level or someone who managed a lot of teams, they could say one AI. assistant because as managers you are still growing. So for you having one extra head cap is big. Whereas for executive maybe you have more business metrics that you you care about. So you actually think about what actually drive productivity metrics for you.

Today my guest is Chip Huen. Unlike a lot of people who share insights into building great AI products and where things are heading. Chip has built multiple successful AI products, platforms, tools. Chip was a core developer on NVIDIA's Nemo platform. An AI researcher at Netflix. She taught machine learning at Stanford.

She's also a two time founder and the author of two of the most popular books in the world of AI. Including her most recent book called AI Engineering, which has been the most read book on the O'Reilly platform since its launch. She's also gotten to work with a lot of enterprises on their AI strategies, and so she gets to see what's actually happening on the ground inside a lot of different companies. In our conversation, Chip explains a lot of the basics, like What exactly does pre training and post training look like?
