Building AI so I can surf more. Context Engine @Redisinc , fmr Founder & CEO @FeatureformML (acq Redis)

San Francisco, CA
I've seen so much success with organizations adoption feature stores. I've also seen lots of confusion. The problem is that the feature store category is broad and ill-defined. In reality, there are three types of feature stores: literal, physical, and virtual.

I've had like 100 companies selling AI SDRs reaching out to me, presumably using their own product. They are the most awkward pseudo-personalized cold email/LI requests. The reach-out doubles as a demo, and it's real bad. IMO, LLMs excel at augmentation, not automation.

Getting model features into production is hard, but it doesn't have to be! 🌟

Had a ton of fun chatting with @CShorten30 on the @weaviate_io podcast! You can listen in to learn more about feature stores and their place in LLM-powered systems.
Hey everyone! I am SUPER excited to publish our 74th Weaviate Podcast featuring Simba Khadder (@simba_khadder), the CEO and Co-Founder of Featureform (@FeatureformML)!! 🎉 Simba is one of the world's experts on building distributed recommendation systems at massive scale! Simba has brought that expertise into the Featureform virtual feature store, which is packed with exciting technologies! At a high-level, "feature stores" handle the orchestration of the inputs / features given to machine learning models! There are so many interesting parts to this such as handling the continuous MLOps of data, training, deployment, and monitoring -- as well as system synchronization such as Kafka + Snowflake + S3 + @weaviate_io! ♻️🚀 Simba also presented some really interesting insights on how feature engineering works into the RAG picture! I learned so much from this conversation and I hope you enjoy the podcast! piped.video/watch?v=fNL_fodH…
