#304 Matt Zeiler: Why Government And Enterprises Choose Clarifai For AI Ops

It started with just Inference back in 2014. The the reason we started there, and having an API platform was inspirations like Stripe and Twilio, where they built a great developer product, and people just built amazing things on top of that. And they became kind of the engine for that. And we saw that there needs to be this engine for AI. And so that's the same product on the commercial side as public, sector side. We intentionally built a whole suite of UIs that make the system easy enough for anybody to use. And because of that, we've had even intelligence analysts train models themselves, doing all the labeling, picking a training template, looking at evaluation metrics of how they perform without our teams, being involved. That's key to making the API successful, which is ultimately what you're gonna use. Once you have a good model, you're gonna use the APIs to fire through lots and lots of data, for inference. But to get to that model, the UIs are really important. In business, they say you can have better, cheaper, or faster, but you only get to pick two. What if you could have all three at the same time? That's exactly what Coher, Thompson Reuters, and Specialized Bikes have. Since they upgraded to the next generation of the cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. OCI is the blazing fast platform for your infrastructure database, application development, and AI needs, where you can run any workload in a high availability, consistently high performance environment, and spend less than you would with other clouds. How is it faster? OCI's block storage gives you more operations per second. Cheaper? OCI costs up to 50% less for compute, 70% less for storage, and 80 less for networking. Better? In test after test, OCI customers report lower latency and higher bandwidth versus other clouds. This is a cloud built for AI and all your biggest workloads. Right now, with zero commitment, try OCI for free. Head to oracle.com/ionai. Ionai all run together, eyeonai. That's oracle.com/ionai. I'm, Matt Zieler and founder and CEO of Clarify. And, my history in AI goes way back even into undergrad. That's kinda where it started. A little bit by luck, I was at University of Toronto and in a program where you have to decide if you wanna take, you know, many different options of engineering. And, I was deciding between the computer option and nanotechnology, and that's when I happened to run into one of Jeff Hinton's PhD students, a guy named Graham Taylor, and he happened to be my resident adviser on the floor I was living in. So that was the the luck of it all. And he showed me some of his research. And back then, he was generating videos that look realistic of a flame flickering, and he said it was all done by AI. And so fast forward to the day, everybody calls that generative AI. This was 2007. So we've been …
