Jeff Frick

A - Large Language Models, they need to know the proximity of information. - Chet Kapoor

So Jeff's been in the Bay Area for 30 years. Chet's been in the Bay Area for 30 years. So you encode my information, your information into a number, actually put them together. So when we search for the area, we get proximity of Jeff and Chet being in the Bay Area together. So vectors are a great way for things to relate to each other. - Chet Kapoor
