Chunking and Scandals with Dr. Alexander Kihm | Ep. 59
Dr. Alexander Kihm is the Founder and CEO of POMA AI, a chunking technology that intakes large libraries of data (PDFs, JSONs, images), chunks it with its proprietary solution, and outputs context-rich data that can be consumed with higher fidelity and accuracy while consuming ever so less tokens.
Listen to Alex talk about how he had front row seats to the Volkswagen scandal, how he got to contribute directly to the legislature of Andorra, where does chunking fit in the world of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), what is this elusive "tree" produced by POMA AI, and much more. Hosted by Perry Tiu.
