Here's my progression of industry benchmarks. It's fun to be working in a space where benchmarks are developing and really matter. Phase 1. There's a new workload that vendors and customers don't understand - make a benchmark. Phase 2. Everybody competes, races for the highest numbers. Customers tend to want a proof of concept before they buy. (shady stuff happens here) Phase 3. Everyone starts to understand the workload, vendors start to drift off, customers trust sizing instead. Phase 4. Upstarts use benchmarks, now mostly abandoned by the original players, to prove they can compete. This is a nice write up on ML Perf Storage with some thoughts on how to interpret the results.

The afternoon Keynote @ Stripe Sessions was Fireside Chat between Patrick Collison (CEO of Stripe) and Jensen Huang (CEO of NVIDIA). Patrick was an excellent moderator — asked Jensen really probing, nuanced questions that Jensen answered with his usual sharp wit and unique (and impressively well rationalized) perspective. A couple of quotes among many that stuck with me: - “Current CPU installed market is $1 trillion of hardware, all of which will be upgraded to GPUs over the next 5 years. And I would estimate about another $1 trillion will be spent on top of that during the same time period as companies try to do more with AI. Add those together — and I think at least $2 trillion will be spent on GPUs in the next 5 years.” - “I like to go after Zero-Billion Dollar Markets — nonexistent markets that I envision & can rationalize well, but will be very hard, expensive & time-consuming to achieve.”

Struggling to scale presales? Yeah, throwing more SEs at the problem isn't always the answer (especially when it takes forever to get them up to speed). The answer? Make it easier to guide buyers through the buying process. Check out this guide for some ideas on how to scale presales without breaking the bank. https://lnkd.in/eyqAfbPE #buyerenablement #consensus #demoautomation #presales #scalingpresales

Live regions have a reputation for being "flaky" and inconsistent. While this can be attributed in part to shortcomings in current implementations, the problem can also be caused by developers misunderstanding how live regions are intended to work. https://buff.ly/3wtCMeQ #ARIA #WebDev #WebDevelopment #Accessibility #A11y

This thought piece shows a way to break out from the disincentives and inefficiencies in current government acquisitions, and details why the market for AI models and inferences is uniquely well positioned to lead that charge. I’m excited to be part of a company that’s turning these and other innovative ideas into realty, and extracting real operational value from ML models.

Level AI is back at it—dropping a crisp $39.4M Series C like it’s nothing. This isn’t just “another funding round,” though. This is Mountain View’s own Ashish Nagar, former Amazon engineer, flexing serious vision and grit to carve out a new kind of contact center: one that actually gets the customer. Adams Street Partners led this round, with some solid backup from Cross Creek, BrightLoop, Battery Ventures, and Eniac Ventures. Yeah, the A-team’s all here, and they’re playing to win. So, what’s Level AI doing with this cash? Think next-gen, LLM-native customer intelligence that puts the “contact center” lightyears ahead of what you’d expect. They’re not just listening—they’re understanding. We’re talking real-time sentiment analysis, NLP, speech AI, and a CX Copilot that makes customer interactions feel as sharp as a live wire. And it’s already got the stamp of approval from heavy-hitters like Affirm, Penske Logistics, Vista, and OpenTable. With this fresh round, they’re ramping up on product development, pushing the R&D to keep leveling up (no pun intended), and taking the engineering game up a notch. And they’re not going at it quietly—Gartner’s already tagged them as one of the “Cool Vendors in Customer Service and Support Technology.” So yeah, Level AI’s got the goods, and they’re in it to change the rules. Props to Ashish and the Level AI team for turning contact centers into customer-intelligence machines. Watch this space—because these folks? They’re just getting started. #ContactCenter #SeriesC #CustomerService #CX #SentimentAnalysis #NLP #LLM #CustomerIntelligence #AI #Technology #Innovation #TechEcosystem #VentureCapital #StartupFunding
