The “one model to rule them all” era is fading.

On the latest episode of the @databrew_db podcast, our CTO & Co-founder @TravisAddair, and show hosts @dennylee and Brooke Wenig, sat down for some hot coffee and tea and to chat about why #specialized AI models are winning and how reinforcement fine-tuning (#RFT) is making open-source models both smarter and easier to productionize.

In this episode, you’ll hear:
🤓 Why teams are shifting from a single frontier model to a portfolio of experts
✅ A clear breakdown of RFT vs. SFT and where verifiable #rewards shine
♾️ How #GRPO simplifies training vs. traditional PPO
💥 Practical tips to avoid reward hacking
🧠 Real-world RFT wins in #codegen, reasoning, and #agentic AI
🏓 Serving at scale using multi-LoRA to route 100s of specialized models on a single GPU

🌟 #DennysPick 🌟

I recently had the chance to virtually sit down with @KLieret from Princeton University on @databrew_db (check it out: https://t.co/15REF1STlI), and wow - he’s doing some seriously cool work! We geeked out over SWE-bench and SWE-agent, two groundbreaking tools that are pushing the boundaries of what AI can do in software engineering. Now, Kilian is taking the stage at Data+AI Summit to go even deeper, and I can’t recommend his session enough.

Why am I excited about this @Data_AI_Summit session?
🧩 Get an inside look at SWE-bench, the new benchmark for evaluating AI on real-world, large codebase tasks
🔍 Hear Kilian’s honest take on what today’s models can (and can’t) do—no sugarcoating
🛠️ See a hands-on demo of SWE-agent, and learn how to build and test your own software engineering agents
🚀 Walk away with practical insights into the challenges ahead and how you can start experimenting with agentic AI in your own workflows

If you want to see where agentic AI is headed and how you can be part of it, add this session to your agenda!

.@DipendraMisra and Alnur Ali explore the challenges of applying AI in enterprise environments and the tools that are helping to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world deployment.

“One of the biggest challenges in making LLM-powered systems real is scale, both in terms of context size and high request volume.”

“Benchmarks should reflect the kinds of things customers actually care about.”

In this clip, Pallavi Koppol shares why @databricks, created DIBS, a domain-specific benchmark designed to evaluate models on real-world tasks like RAG, text-to-JSON, and function calling.
