Quotes:
“We built an enterprise-secure version of Generative AI that has many different features that allow large companies and small companies to very securely benefit from Generative AI without all of the issues that a very insecure, non-industry-trained solution might create.” — Simon Arkell
“With this type of [generative AI] technology, you have the ability to completely unlock new formulas, and new molecules that could be life-changing.” — Simon Arkell
“Improving the utility of the platform comes down to the efficacy of the output. It comes down to the in-context learning, the ensembling, and the prompting.But at the end of the day, a human has to determine, in many cases, the accuracy and relevance of a specific answer.” — Simon Arkell
“It's not really about building models. It's about making sure that the right models are being utilized for the copilot.” — Simon Arkell
