Dr Shelby Heinecke, who leads AI research at Salesforce, will speak at Small Data SF November 5th on how small models don't need more parameters, they just need better data. She'll speak about the highly efficient xLAM family of small action models her team built at Salesforce.
Miss Small Data SF in 2024? Catch out our highlight reel below and learn why one attendee said: "Small Data SF was on another level. The lineup was unbeatable, the content was razor-sharp, and the people were next-level inspiring."
Small Data SF may be a small conference, but the density of talent amongst the speakers and attendees is unmatched. Learn from industry luminaries, on stage and in the audience, on how and why to make your data and AI stack more efficient.
Last year, Wes McKinney of pandas fame, spoke about how people have written a lot of Spark code, making our industry sticky to Spark. This year, we're joined by Holden Karau, Spark PMC member and author of a number of Spark books, talking about when *not* to use Spark.
George Fraser, CEO of Fivetran, has been a pioneer in advocacy around small data. Watch his thoughts from a panel at Small Data SF 2024. This year he returns November 5th to share more wisdom in a talk, alongside many other data luminaries.
