LLM Engineering & Research at 🤗

I was recently on the AI Stories podcast with Neil Leiser where we talked about my meandering road from physicist to data scientist to ML engineer. There's some fun stories in the podcast, including: 😅 How I blew up a Kafka cluster in the first week of my non-academic job 🍩 Getting nerd sniped by topological machine learning and my first contact with open source AI 📖 The genesis story of the NLP with Transformers book where two randos in Switzerland (me and Leandro von Werra) somehow managed to convince Thomas Wolf to write a book together I hope others starting out in the field find it useful to see that careers in AI can have many twists and bends 🗺️ https://lnkd.in/dR3--EMC
