In this latest entry of our fascinating interview series that focuses on major players in the global tech arena, we are delighted to present Miguel Jetté, Vice President of Artificial Intelligence at Rev. Join us as we dive into his career development, provide tips for aspiring AI leaders, and discuss the key lessons he has learned along the way.

Kernighan & Pike, The Practice of Programming, 1999 Despite constantly changing technologies and the needs of customers, some wisdom seems eternal. Programmers need to test their code. But thorough testing takes time. When we do it well, everything works, and a massive testing effort feels like a waste. However, when we do it badly, our code is often broken, and we wish that we had done better testing. I have some good news for you.

We did a sort of time travel on 20th April at QonfX. If you are not one of the 3000+ people who registered for this event, it is a unique software testing conference that keeps its focus on the Future of Testing. This year was the second edition of QonfX and received even more love than the last time. Feedback like the above filled our social feeds during and post QonfX. We cannot keep a count of the number of times attendees used the words ‘eye-opening’ for the talks given by the speakers.

API-database coupling vs. traditional multi-layered architectures: what’s the difference and why does it matter? The main difference between direct API-database coupling and multi-layered architectures is that the former allows the API to interact directly with the database, minimizing latency and complexity, while the latter uses multiple layers to separate concerns.

Generative AI (GenAI) has taken the world by storm, promising to revolutionize industries and transform the way businesses operate. From generating creative content to automating complex tasks, the potential applications of GenAI are vast and exciting. However, implementing GenAI in an enterprise setting comes with its own set of challenges. At Cloudera, we understand the complexities of enterprise GenAI adoption.

It is a fairly recent trend for companies to amass GPU firepower to build their own AI computing infrastructure and support the growing number of compute requests. Many recent AI tools now enable data scientists to work on data, run experiments, and train models seamlessly with the ability to submit their jobs and monitor their progress. However, for many organizations with mature supercomputing capabilities, Slurm has been the scheduling tool of choice for managing computing clusters.

Things can get tricky when managing pre-paid, pay-as-you-go billing for monetized APIs. Three mechanisms must be in place for this type of billing to work: first, you need to be able to add credits to an account. Second, you need to be able to burn down those credits. Third, you need to be able to block users from accessing the API once they have run out of credits.

Our early roadmap in 2024 has been largely focused on improving orchestration and compute infrastructure management capabilities. Last month we released a Resource Allocation Policy Management Control Center with a new, streamlined UI to help teams visualize their compute infrastructure and understand which users have access to what resources.

For enterprises, commercial use of AI is still in its early stages, and it’s a case of risk and reward, weighing up both and investigating the best way forward. Of course, there’s much to gain from the use of AI. Already, companies are providing better customer service, parsing complex information through natural language inputs, and generally making workflows faster.
