Jerry Liu on the Future of AI: LlamaIndex, LLMs, RAG, Prompting and more ! What's AI Podcast Episode 25

What's AI Podcast by Louis-François Bouchard

In this 25th episode, Jerry, co-founder and CEO of LlamaIndex shares valuable insights for anyone implementing LLM solutions. I decided to focus on Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) since it is the current "hype" solution, but we also touched on LLMs in general, the importance of good communication and documentation and more about the business sides of things. I hope you enjoy this episode of the What's AI podcast!
