Daniel Svonava, CEO of Superlinked, recently participated in an insightful panel discussion on building effective AI platforms. Alongside fellow experts Tobias Macey from MIT and Colleen Tartow from VAST Data, Daniel shared valuable perspectives on the evolving landscape of data engineering and MLOps.
Key Takeaways:
Evolution of Tools: The panel explored how the industry has shifted from specialized tools like feature stores to more comprehensive platforms.
Integration vs. Separation: A critical point of discussion was whether companies, especially those with smaller data teams, should maintain separate data and ML platforms or opt for integrated solutions.
Merging Roles: The conversation touched on the blurring lines between data engineering, analytics, and MLOps, questioning the continued relevance of distinct ML engineer roles.
Practical Platform Design: Insights were shared on creating AI platforms that are not only practical and future-proof but also avoid unnecessary complexity.
Lessons from MLOps and LLMs: The panel drew parallels between established MLOps practices and the recent surge in Large Language Models (LLMs) to inform better platform design.
