From Google to Stanford Researcher with Yifan Mai [Podcast #149]

Post Content

​ On this week’s episode of the podcast, freeCodeCamp founder Quincy Larson interviews Yifan Mai, a Senior Software Engineer on Google’s TensorFlow team who left the private sector to go do AI research at Stanford. He’s the lead maintainer of the open source HELM project, where he benchmarks the performance of Large Language Models.

We talk about:
– Open Source VS Open Weights in LLMs
– The Ragged Frontier of LLM use cases
– AI impact on jobs and our predictions
– What to learn so you can stay above the waterline

Can you guess what song I’m playing in the intro?
