Key Quotes:

“Vector databases are an essential piece of the AI tech stack and will become even more so.”

“We will see more infrastructure software for edge computing coming up to empower the market to really make the edge as easy as the cloud.”

“I believe there will be more data staying in the edges, residing in edges, than on the cloud. But this is going to take time.”

“This whole terminology around edge computing and edge is not doing edge computing a favor.”
