MLOps podcast #201 with Paco Nathan, Managing Partner at Derwen, Inc., Language, Graphs, and AI in Industry.

// Abstract
Let's talk about key findings from these conferences, specifically summarizing teams that have ROI on machine learning in production: what are the things in common they're doing, and what are the most important caveats they urge other teams to consider when getting started? Because these key takeaways aren't found in the current AI news cycle.
