Today’s podcast overview/transcript:
In today’s podcast we look at a few public
company announcements and how the AI sector is impacting aviation and medical
technology as well as some great new potential in advertising.
Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company (NASDAQ:
AMZN) and poolside, the frontier artificial intelligence (AI)
unicorn valued at $3 billion in an October funding round, announced a multi-year agreement to make
poolside's generative AI Assistant and foundation models (FMs) available in
Amazon Bedrock. Amazon Bedrock is a fully-managed service that offers
developers access to high-performing models from leading AI companies through a
single API. As a result, enterprise customers will soon be able to customize
poolside's generative AI Assistant for software development with their own
data, leveraging the security, privacy, and performance of AWS.
As part of the agreement, poolside will
also leverage AWS Trainium chips to power inference for its malibu and point
foundation models, enabling optimal price performance for customers. AWS
Trainium is a high-performance machine learning chip designed to reduce the
time and cost of running generative AI models. AWS customers are now able to
deploy poolside securely on Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) and will soon be
able to so through Amazon Bedrock, relying on Amazon EC2 Trainium instances for
inference.
Solving for the generative AI needs of
enterprise organizations
Bringing poolside's models to Amazon Bedrock and EC2
provides enterprise customers of both companies with a unique advantage to
solving complex software engineering tasks and driving development productivity
for their organizations through generative AI. poolside FMs are designed to be
fine-tuned with each business's code and data, producing a proprietary
generative AI model and software engineering assistant for that specific
business. poolside in Amazon Bedrock and EC2 will enable enterprise
organizations to meet security, privacy and compliance concerns and quickly
deploy their custom generative AI models. AWS customers will be able to deploy
poolside models where their data is stored, within their firewalls, on the
world's most secure cloud, and with no data shared back with poolside.
poolside's Reinforcement Learning From Code
Execution Feedback (RLCEF) technique runs on AWS today, powering approximately
one million container images, while allowing for 10,000 code executions per
minute. RLCEF allows poolside to generate synthetic training data at scale by
exposing models to realistic coding tasks in real-world code bases, providing
feedback based on code execution, and employing a large-scale Reinforcement
Learning approach for training. Proving RLCEF at scale is what allows poolside
models to train on increasingly more data without relying on any of their
customers' data – enabling enterprise customers to deploy models securely and
privately.
"We've been incredibly impressed with
the AWS team and are excited to partner on this journey to unlock more of the
potential of AI for software development," said poolside CEO Jason Warner.
"Today, the majority of developers sit within an enterprise environment
where access to these tools is scarce and their full potential is not yet realized.
Companies of this scale need a tailored model that can both capture their
proprietary knowledge and learn from their interactions over time. That is what
we've built, and AWS's reputation and depth within the enterprise is key to
accelerating adoption and impact."
"Giving AWS customers the flexibility
to run poolside in Amazon Bedrock or on their own EC2 instances will further
enhance their ability to innovate with generative AI," said Dave Brown,
Vice President, AWS Compute & Networking Services. "poolside offers a
unique solution for software engineering teams of large enterprise customers
looking to build and scale generative AI applications through foundation models
without sacrificing privacy and security. It's yet another way for enterprise
organizations to leverage their internal knowledge base to build proprietary,
tailored solutions."
Streamlined procurement, contracting, and
budgeting through their relationship with AWS makes it even easier for AWS
customers to experiment securely with poolside.
AWS is the first cloud provider to offer
fully-managed models from poolside. The poolside Assistant is powered by models
ideal for software development and coding-related use cases: poolside's malibu
and point generative AI models. poolside's FMs are trained on the world's
largest pool of code execution data and fine-tuned on how large enterprises
write software. malibu is highly versatile and excels at tackling complex
engineering challenges, delivering intricate code generation and test and
documentation generation. point is engineered for rapid code completion,
leveraging advanced context awareness to accurately predict developers' needs.
point offers real-time suggestions for algorithm optimization and design
patterns. With poolside, Amazon Bedrock customers will soon have their own
proprietary models, fine-tuned on their own data, that continuously learn how
their developers write code.
Altair
(Nasdaq:
ALTR), announced that it will work together with Auburn University's Samuel Ginn College of Engineering
on a $1.25 million AFWERX Phase II STTR contract. The two organizations will
develop analytical models for cyclonic flows, construct computational models,
and study the stability of different vortex engines to address the challenges
facing public and private sector aerospace organizations.
Within the contract, Altair is assuming the
previous role of Research in Flight, which was founded in 2013 and won a series
of development contracts and grants over a 10-year span. Altair acquired Research in Flight in April 2024
and its technology is now known as Altair® FlightStream™, part of the Altair®
HyperWorks® platform.
"This opportunity continues Altair's
legacy of innovation in the aerospace industry and demonstrates the power of
our technology as we work closely with a prestigious institution such as Auburn
University," said Pietro Cervellera, senior vice president of aerospace
and defense, Altair. "FlightStream empowers users in unique ways, bridging
the gap between high-fidelity CFD simulations and engineering demands to set
industry standards for efficiency, accuracy, and speed."
Within the project, the Auburn University
team – led by Dr. Joe Majdalani, the university's Hugh and Loeda Francis Chair
of Excellence in the department of aerospace engineering – will use
FlightStream to identify optimal conditions within vortex engines. FlightStream
will help the team predict cyclonic flow performance and acoustic signature
characteristics at a fraction of the time compared to previous methods. These
models will enable users to rapidly predict the stability performance of thrust
engines earlier in the design cycle over a range of operating conditions.
"This contract allows us to develop
next-generation solutions for vortex engines and collaborate with Altair, whose
decades of experience and technology now includes the tool from Research in
Flight," Majdalani said. "Previously, each test seeking to study
vortex engine capabilities and stability limitations took about two weeks. With
FlightStream, these same predictions take just a few minutes. We are thrilled
to see how these tools will transform this space."
The contract is awarded by AFWERX. AFWERX is the innovation arm of the
United States Department of the Air Force (DAF) that harnesses cutting-edge
American ingenuity from small businesses and startups to address the most
