In this keynote, we'll explore the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) in unlocking legacy systems and rethinking the connective tissue between legacy datasets and systems with new experiences. Traditionally, enterprises have relied on costly and time-consuming solutions to abstract legacy technology or modernize legacy systems. However, LLMs offer us the change to reimagine this enterprise architecture. By leveraging an LLMs ability to understand APIs, systems, and call tools, LLMs can generate the required structured output to interact with dozens of legacy systems. In this talk, we will discuss the ways LLMs can augment and replace enterprise gateways, reducing the need for custom software development and middleware solutions. We'll also examine the critical role of inference speed in enabling the deployment of LLMs in new and unique ways and explore the potential for LLMs to become a core tool in the enterprise.

In the ever-evolving generative AI landscape, GPUs have remained the dominant architecture for running large AI models. However, GPUs rely on brute force and are incredibly inefficient, not to mention increasingly unavailable. It’s clearly time for a change. It’s time for the comeback of the CPU.

You may be surprised to learn that running AI models on CPUs can bring about significant performance enhancements and incredible flexibility. By taking advantage of the rapidly evolving CPU architecture and mapping our unique neuroscience-based optimizations to it, Numenta is bringing this technological revolution to the generative AI field today. 

This presentation will explore:

  1. The benefits of embracing CPU-based AI, from reducing the cost and complexities associated with GPUs to increasing flexibility and scalability. 
  2. The latest advancements in Numenta’s neuroscience-based AI platform, NuPIC, the Numenta Platform for Intelligent Computing.
  3. Practical applications of CPU-based generative AI through a customer success story
