Something we always recommend to clients is the need for flexibility in their LLM's due to the rapidly changing landscape. Exciting news - the LLAMA3.1 model has been unveiled today, recognized as one of the top models available. The ability to run it independently is truly impressive! Various frameworks, like LangChain, are invaluable for enhancing LLM flexibility. Who has an open-source version of Claude's artifacts that I could experiment with LLAMA3.1? #LLM #LLAMA3.1

This resonates with so many UX experiments that we are doing. Artifacts with Claude ai are a great example.

If you are at the AI Engineer World’s Fair 2024 in San Francisco right now, I encourage you to go and see the talk by João. It will show you all about crewAI and Agents with GenAI. If you also like to see someone that pushes the limits in doing live demos on stage, this is also probably the talk for you 😀 . This will no doubt be a fascinating talk, that will also push the limits of on stage live demos. cc: Rob Bailey #AIEWF #agenticai

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐀𝐈 I'm excited to share a screen capture of my recent interaction with Anthropic Claude AI using their new Artifacts feature. This image, which I've attached to this post, provides a real-world glimpse into the power of conversation-first interfaces in AI. It's one thing to talk about these advancements, but seeing Claude in action truly drives home their potential. Anthropic's recent release of Artifacts, as demonstrated by Claude, is a game-changer, showcasing the power of conversation-first interfaces in AI. But it's just the tip of the iceberg in the evolving landscape of enterprise AI. Let's break down what's happening: 1. 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑁𝑒𝑤 𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐶𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟: As you can see in the attached image of my chat with Claude, Anthropic's Artifacts demonstrate how chat interfaces are becoming the primary way we interact with AI and access tools. This approach streamlines workflows by allowing users to summon relevant resources – be it documents, code, or visualizations – directly within a conversation. 2. 𝐿𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝐿𝑜𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝐿𝐿𝑀𝑠: Tech giants like Apple, Google, and Microsoft are pushing towards powerful yet efficient language models that run locally on devices. This shift promises faster responses and enhanced privacy. 3. 𝐸𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑒 𝐷𝑎𝑡𝑎 𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛: We're seeing the development of functions that allow these local models to connect seamlessly with enterprise data through APIs and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). This bridges personal devices and corporate knowledge bases. 4. 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑧𝑒𝑑 𝐴𝐼 𝑀𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑦: AI assistants are evolving to learn about individual users and their work patterns, creating increasingly tailored and efficient experiences over time. 5. 𝐸𝑛ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑑 𝑆𝑒𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦: With more processing happening locally and controlled data access, enterprises can better manage security concerns around AI implementation. 6. 𝑆𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐹𝑙𝑒𝑥𝑖𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦: This new model allows businesses to scale AI capabilities across their workforce while maintaining control over data and processes. These developments collectively point towards a future where every employee has a personalized, AI-powered productivity suite at their fingertips. The conversation-first interface, exemplified by Anthropic's Claude with Artifacts and shown in the attached image, serves as the gateway to this new world of enterprise AI. How do you see these advancements reshaping your industry or daily work? Are you excited about the potential of conversation-first AI interfaces like Claude? #ConversationalAI #EnterpriseAI #Anthropic #Claude #FutureOfWork #AIProductivity

Thank you to Jan Beitner, PhD and the rest of the team at Inflexion, for organizing an excellent event. It was a great opportunity to network with other portfolio companies and discuss AI strategies.

Curious about connecting ChatGPT directly to your Salesforce CRM and interacting with it within ChatGPT? Watch this video to learn how to set it up yourself in less than 15 minutes, without needing additional Salesforce licenses or any coding skills—you just need to have admin access to Salesforce. Once you've got it hooked up, I'd love to hear about the innovative ways you're using it! Check the comments for the schema referenced in the video. #SalesforceIntegration #ChatGPT #AI #Salesforce

The last stop of the 3 city tour across Mexico and Colombia talking about AI. We had a great turn out in Bogota, 100+ companies. We had some very engaging conversations. Colombian companies are doing some incredible things.

It was fantastic to talk about GenAI across text, images, audio and video and give demos on how we are using it at K2 Partnering Solutions and with our clients. The added benefit was bring able to do it in #MexicoCity, one of my top 5 favorite cities in the world! Next Stop, Colombia!

A great article by Andreessen Horowitz with some key insights on the growth of the generative AI space in 2024, and how enterprises are building and buying. Some of the highlights that really jumped out for me are: ▪️ Investment & Strategy Shifts - Enterprises significantly increase AI budgets. - Increasing adoption of open-source to foster innovation. ▪️ Model Diversity & Customization - Embracing multiple models to avoid lock-in. - Customization takes precedence for unique business needs. ▪️ The Future of GenAI - A multi-model, open-source future is on the horizon. ▪️ Explosive Market Growth - Model API and fine-tuning spend is on track to hit a $5 billion run-rate by the end of 2024, largely fueled by enterprise adoption and increased genAI investments.
