Build a production-ready AI toolbox ft. Cat Weeks | Technically Speaking with Chris Wright

Описание: Bridging the gap between an impressive AI demo and a scalable production environment is the single biggest hurdle for enterprise leaders today. Instead of relying on costly Frontier Models for every task, successful production strategies require right-sizing your tools.

In this episode of Technically Speaking, Chris Wright and Red Hatter Cat Weeks discuss the strategy behind moving AI out of the lab and into the real world. They explore why the future of enterprise AI isn't a monolith, but a diverse fleet of Large Language Models (LLMs), Small Language Models (SLMs), and agentic AI. Learn how to experiment early, right-size your models, and build a strategy that scales securely.
