AI, MLOps, and Robotics #29

This Week in AI, MLOps, and Robotics: The White House launches AI program, Amazon is building custom chips for generative AI, real-time deep SORT with Torchvision, testing GPT-4 with Wolfram Alpha and Code Interpreter, optimizing text-to-speech models, origami-inspired robotic modules, and much more!

?? Note: I'm starting an AI book club! In September, we'll be reading Generative Deep Learning by David Foster. Join the LinkedIn group to stay updated.

My Next Event (Aug 17th):
