As we build out AI infrastructure and applications we need resource efficiency, continuously buying more horsepower cannot go on forever. This episode of the Tech Field Day podcast features Pete Welcher, Gina Rosenthal, Andy Banta, and Alastair Cooke hoping for a more efficient AI future. Large language models are trained using massive farms of GPUs and massive amounts of Internet data, so we expect to use large farms of GPUs and unstructured data to run those LLMs. Those large farms have led to scarcity of GPUs, and now RAM price increases that are impeding businesses building their own large AI infrastructure. Task-specific AIs, that use more efficient, task-specific models should be the future of Agentic AI and AI embedded in applications. More efficient and targeted AI may be the only way to get business value from the investment, especially in resource constrained edge environments. Does every AI problem need a twenty billion parameter model? More mature use of LLMs and AI will focus on reducing the cost of delivering inference to applications, your staff, and your customers.

Modern security needs more than checklists. Instead of working down a process you need to start thinking like the attackers trying to get into your systems. In this episode of the Tech Field Day Podcast, Jay Cuthrell and Girard Kavelines join Tom Hollingsworth to discuss how Microsoft Sentinel helps bring this new security strategy to your environment.

They discuss the advances that have been made in data lake technology, including the increased retention time offered by Microsoft. They also talk about the way that graphs help train new security analysts to understand the way that attackers think. They discuss how you can adapt your plans in the new year to take advantage of new offerings and the questions you should be asking to make sure you’re not missing out.
