Lost in the talk about OpenAI is the tremendous amount of compute needed to train and fine-tune LLMs, like GPT, and Generative AI, like ChatGPT. Each iteration requires more compute and the limitation imposed by Moore’s Law quickly moves that task from single compute instances to distributed compute. To accomplish this, OpenAI has employed Ray to power the distributed compute platform to train each release of the GPT models.
In today's data-driven world, product analytics is crucial in understanding user behavior, improving product features, and driving business growth. However, product analytics alone may not provide a complete picture of user interactions and business performance. Integrating product analytics with other data sources and systems is essential to gain deeper insights and make more informed decisions.

Generative AI and large language models (LLMs) are revolutionizing many aspects of both developer and non-coder productivity with automation of repetitive tasks and fast generation of insights from large amounts of data. Snowflake users are already taking advantage of LLMs to build really cool apps with integrations to web-hosted LLM APIs using external functions, and using Streamlit as an interactive front end for LLM-powered apps such as AI plagiarism detection, AI assistant, and MathGPT.
Cloudera SQL Stream builder gives non-technical users the power of a unified stream processing engine so they can integrate, aggregate, query, and analyze both streaming and batch data sources in a single SQL interface. This allows business users to define events of interest for which they need to continuously monitor and respond quickly. A dead letter queue (DLQ) can be used if there are deserialization errors when events are consumed from a Kafka topic.
CIOs are fed up with having a plethora of BI and analytics tools with business units seemingly chasing the shiniest new solution. And although most industry surveys show data and analytics budgets continuing to grow despite a faltering economy, there is closer scrutiny and belt tightening to rid teams of overlapping capabilities. Here’s a look at how BI tool portfolios have become such a mess and how to streamline them.
Much like Apple people tend to be all Apple, all the time, Microsoft Dynamics ERP users tend to prefer Microsoft products for all their computing needs. It’s not hard to understand why. Using products from the same ecosystem prevents compatibility issues and saves time in learning multiple systems.

Making a Question Answering (QA) bot that can cite your own documentation and help channels is now possible thanks to chatGPT and Langchain, an open-source tool that cleverly uses chatGPT but doesn’t require retraining it. But it’s a far cry from “out of the box.” One example is that you have to get the prompt just right. To get an LLM (large language model) to do exactly what you want, your instructions will have to be very clear, so what if we automate that too?
If you work in a finance team within a construction business, it’s likely your main goals are to reduce risk, improve profitability, and maintain exceptional levels of compliance.

Every organization contends with numerous moving parts that drive business forward. But they can be inefficient and convoluted – in fact, Forrester research shows that 71% of organizations use 10 or more applications for a single business process. To make matters worse, only 16% of companies have complete visibility over their own processes. This is where process mining can help. How can you gain more clarity so you can improve efficiency within your organization?
With increased applications developed by different engineering teams on Kafka comes increased need for data governance. JSON is often used when streaming projects bootstrap but this quickly becomes a problem as your applications iterate, changing the data structures with add new fields, removing old and even changing data formats. It makes your applications brittle, chaos ensues as downstream consumers fall over due to miss data and SREs curse you.
