The second trend I ’ m seeing is the convergence of machine learning models . Go back just three years and there were hundreds of new research papers about machine learning models coming out each week , with there being concerns that model growth was out of control . Now , the trajectory has reversed . There ’ s less specificity and more generalisation , which is resulting in a more finite number of models .
Q . What is next for SambaNova , what can we expect in the future ?
» Stay tuned for the specifics of what ’ s coming next for SambaNova . However , where we ’ re seeing the market moving , in terms of customer demand for many companies is , again , more towards data-centric computing driven by AI . As the first movers accelerate past their peers then the rest of the market will naturally want to follow them .
The real challenge in the near future in this industry is the skills crunch . We ran some research recently that found over 80 % of enterprise tech managers are struggling to hire AI talent and over half are finding retention a challenge too .
Businesses want to adopt AI models in various aspects of their organisation and this change is coming from the top – the C-suite and leadership team . If you think about it , we ’ re already very much in an AI-driven world , so AI should be at the heart of business strategy . It ' s just that not every business realises it yet .
