Amazing to watch @laurenepowell moderating #2023APEC AI panel with @sama, Chris Cox of Facebook, James Manyika of Google.

AI is different from every previous technology in human history. It’s first technology that can make decisions by itself, that can create new ideas by itself and that can learn and develop by itself. Lauren quoted @harari_yuval

.@vectara is hosting a hackathon all around retrieval augmented generation (RAG) apps -> https://t.co/sFNavhqCn7

Better late than never. Check out my interview with @hwchase17 - founder of @langchain at @UCBerkeley.

We discussed:

- What are some of the projects that are built on LangChain so far that get him most excited?
- Insights and tips in driving developer adoption?
- His vision for Langchain

[Edith Yeung @edithyeung]

As @BillGates would say, the Age of Enterprise AI has begun.

Enterprise AI will help change the way how businesses communicate with their customers, users and partners externally and employees internally.

Entire industries will reorient around it. In the future, Fortune 500 companies can only differentiate themselves by how well they use AI.

And @Vectara will be THE company to help them get there.

I am excited working with @awadallah, @amin3141 and Tallat and the entire team =)
