Our guest today is Demetrios Brinkmann, Founder and CEO of the MLOps Community.
In our conversation, Demetrios first explains how he transitioned from being an English teacher to working in sales and then founding the MLOps community. He also talks about the role of MLOps in the ML lifecycle and shares a bunch of resources to level up your MLOps skills. We then dive into the hot topic of GenAI and LLMOps where Demetrios shares his view on specialised vs generalised LLMs and why it can be dangerous to build a startup on top of OpenAI.
Demetrios finally explains what the MLOps community is all about. They are organising live events in around 40 countries, a great podcast, a slack channel, some new courses on generative AI and much more. Check out there website here: https://mlops.community/
