AI, MLOps, and Robotics #40

This Week in AI, MLOps, and Robotics: OpenAI DevDay, JPMorgan generative AI projects, Hollywood sets safeguards around AI, YOLO-NAS Pose, Comparing the Performance of LLMs, a new AI device to replace phones, and much more!

Personal Update: I started a new journey at Union AI!

I'll be hosting AI & MLOps events again shortly, but for now, you can check out Flyte, the open-source MLOps project I'll be working on.

Don't forget to give it a GitHub Star! ?
