Michael Sinanian(@sinansays):Spent last week at AI Engineer in New York, where the focus was finance. Whatever happens with AI at the big-picture level, the people I met working to deploy what we have today do care about getting it right. A lot of discussions around accurately grounding firm-specific knowledge, thorough measurement and evaluation (the "eat your vegetables" of AI), new techniques with harness engineering and context engineering, and open-source alternatives emerging against 'Big AI'. Have been sharing these insights with my @GenCogAI clients and @uclaextension students alike. Thanks to @vibhusapra and the @latentspacepod community for having me there.
