AI After an Apocalypse
Cloud outages used to mean your site went down, maybe you couldn’t deploy. Just small unimportant stuff. Now an outage means you can’t even write any code. And unreliable connections cause the same problems as ever - random cutoffs partway through, lost or incomplete work. The broken assumption remains that we are online all the time, and not sometimes sitting far away coding in a forest.
This session is about making the big models more fault-tolerant, and having a better time with the little ones. How to ensure LLMs don’t burn a hole in your pocket, literally or otherwise. Probably impractical in the event of a real apocalypse, but helpful all the same.
