Episode notes

Route Models By Capability, Not Only Failover

  • Use model routing to match tasks to the right model and avoid routing only for failover.
  • Treat reliability as table stakes and centralize capability-based routing in the inference layer.

Racing Data Powers Fuel And Pit Strategy

  • Bryce describes being on-site at Daytona with Pratt Miller, integrating Nominal into race operations for strategy and telemetry.
  • He explains fuel management and telemetry tactics used during endurance races to gain pit-stop advantages.

Centralize Multimodal Engineering Data

  • Consolidate telemetry, logs, video, and sim data into one multimodal platform for faster engineering decisions.
  • Catalog and index that data so teams can reproduce and justify decisions post-race.
