Introducing Dabarex: The Future of Language Models

Join us at our first in-person conference on June 25 all about AI Quality: https://www.aiqualityconference.com/

MLOps Coffee Sessions Special episode with Databricks, Introducing DBRX: The Future of Language Models, fueled by our Premium Brand Partner, Databricks. DBRX is designed to be especially capable of a wide range of tasks and outperforms other open LLMs on standard benchmarks. It also promises to excel at code and math problems, areas where others have struggled. Our panel of experts will get into the technical nuances, potential applications, and implications of DBRx for businesses, developers, and the broader tech community. This session is a great opportunity to hear from insiders about how DBRX's capabilities can benefit you. // Bio Denny Lee - Co-host Denny Lee is a long-time Apache Spark™ and MLflow contributor, Delta Lake maintainer, and a Sr. Staff Developer Advocate at Databricks. A hands-on distributed systems and data sciences engineer with extensive experience developing internet-scale data platforms and predictive analytics systems. He has previously built enterprise DW/BI and big data systems at Microsoft, including Azure Cosmos DB, Project Isotope (HDInsight), and SQL Server. Davis Blalock Davis Blalock is a research scientist and the first employee at MosaicML. He previously worked at PocketSonics (acquired 2013) and completed his PhD at MIT, where he was advised by John Guttag. He received his M.S. from MIT and his B.S. from the University of Virginia. He is a Qualcomm Innovation Fellow, NSF Graduate Research Fellow, and Barry M. Goldwater Scholar. He is also the author of Davis Summarizes Papers, one of the most widely-read machine learning newsletters. Bandish Shah Bandish Shah is an Engineering Manager at MosaicML/Databricks, where he focuses on making generative AI training and inference efficient, fast, and accessible by bridging the gap between deep learning, large-scale distributed systems, and performance computing. Bandish has over a decade of experience building systems for machine learning and enterprise applications. Prior to MosaicML, Bandish held engineering and development roles at SambaNova Systems where he helped develop and ship the first RDU systems from the ground up, and Oracle where he worked as an ASIC engineer for SPARC-based enterprise servers. Abhi Venigalla Abhi is an NLP architect working on helping organizations build their own LLMs using Databricks. Joined as part of the MosaicML team and used to work as a researcher at Cerebras Systems. Ajay Saini Ajay is an engineering manager at Databricks leading the GenAI training platform team. He was one of the early engineers at MosaicML (acquired by Databricks) where he first helped build and launch Composer (an open source deep learning training framework) and afterwards led the development of the MosaicML training platform which enabled customers to train models (such as LLMs) from scratch on their own datasets at scale. Prior to MosaicML, Ajay was co-founder and CEO of Overfit, an online personal training startup (YC S20). Before that, Ajay worked on ML solutions for ransomware detection and data governance at Rubrik. Ajay has both a B.S. and MEng in computer science with a concentration in AI from MIT. // MLOps Jobs board https://mlops.pallet.xyz/jobs // MLOps Swag/Merch https://mlops-community.myshopify.com/ // Related Links Website: https://www.databricks.com/ Databricks DBRX: https://www.databricks.com/blog/introducing-dbrx-new-state-art-open-llm --------------- ✌️Connect With Us ✌️ ------------- Join our slack community: https://go.mlops.community/slack Follow us on Twitter: @mlopscommunity Sign up for the next meetup: https://go.mlops.community/register Catch all episodes, blogs, newsletters, and more: https://mlops.community/
