The panel discusses KPMG's 100-page prompt for its TaxBot, debating the future of prompt engineering versus fine-tuning. They also analyze OpenAI's potential move into selling cloud infrastructure, the impressive capabilities of Google's new image model, Nano-Banana, and new AI-powered fan experiences at the US Open.
Paul van der Boor and Zulkuf Genc from Prosus discuss the practical realities of deploying AI agents in production. They cover their in-house evaluation framework, strategies for navigating the GPU market, the importance of fine-tuning over building from scratch, and how they use AI to analyze usage patterns in a privacy-preserving manner.
Dr. Jasper Zhang argues that the relentless construction of new data centers is an inefficient, expensive, and unsustainable solution to the AI compute demand. He proposes a global GPU marketplace as a superior model, designed to aggregate fragmented, idle resources, drastically reduce costs through efficient allocation, and ultimately democratize access to AI infrastructure for developers and startups.
