Introduction
Patrick
My guest today is Aravind Srinivas. He is the founder and CEO of Perplexity, a startup that he describes as an answer engine built from scratch with AI, has set out for Perplexity to become the most powerful answer engine backed by up-to-date sources. He helps me pick apart the technology, describing the behind the scenes of what it takes to build Perplexity to reach its potential and compete along the likes of Google and OpenAI.
Our conversation goes deep into programming this kind of infrastructure, the competition around latency and constructing a business model around deep learning. There is so much on the horizon, so please enjoy my conversation with Aravind Srinivas.
