Microsoft Build

So this kind of flew under the radar.

Um, y- you know, I saw this out when I was out at Microsoft Build Conference, but now Microsoft Foundry offers fine-tuning as a service, right? So as an example, you know, Foundry has a ton of models from all of these different providers, right? If you just need one model, and if it's 80% of your usage, let's just say as an example, is doing some financial modeling around a certain sector, instead of taking one of the big state-of-the-art trillion parameter models, right, you can work with now Microsoft in Foundry.

They do this as a service.

Uh, they can find the right, maybe a smaller or medium-sized model and then just fine-tune that or essentially create a version of the, of a medium-sized model that's more cost-efficient, faster and, well, just better because they're essentially going to train a version of the model just around your specific tasks.

Microsoft, we'll see where they land.

Uh, I do think their new GitHub Copilot app will ultimately be the kind of the underlying harness that will pr- uh, uh, kind of power their super app that CEO Satya Nadella, uh, previewed at the Microsoft Build Conference.

Uh, and then you have others, right? Groq has their new build.

That's still too early, kind of in the beta phase.

So happy to have you here.

I just met you a couple of weeks ago in San Francisco at MS Build.

And it was just a pleasure to meet you there and get to know you.

And so I asked you to come on to the podcast and I'm so grateful you agreed.

I feel like this is like the tiny desk of being a software engineer, you know what I mean? This is, this is big stuff, so I'm glad to be here.

And it's also great to reconnect, 'cause about a year ago, we, we, we had lunch, uh, after at Microsoft Build as well, which, which was really fun.

But now it's, it's good to jump into this.

And with this, I wanted to ask about your background.

And you can run it against your own website.

And it will do, like, we did a demo at Microsoft Build, which is our annual developer conference thing.

And the demo was basically taking, let's say somebody sends you a customer feedback response that has to do with accessibility.

That comes in as a GitHub issue.
