"What we're seeing now with customers is they're chasing availability of compute, and once they get new allocation from anyone, they want to be able to grab it and start running right away," Weka co-founder and CEO Liran Zvibel, told me. venturebeat.com/data/stop-ad...
Weka's new storage platform caches 100% of a model's pre-calculated tokens, so it never has to redo the work
As context windows and multi-turn interactions grow, so does the GPU compute wasted recalculating work a model has already done. Augmented Memory Grid, a NeuralMesh 6 feature built specifically for this, is Weka's answer.
