One of the most exciting conversations I have had all year. Abhi, co-founder and CEO of roots is is a software engineer turned farmer who is really pushing LLMs to the edge of their abilities.
In this interview, we discover how he has been using Google Gemini’s large context windows to feed it thousands of agriculture science papers and discover insights relevant for his agriculture startup Living Roots. His insights have already generated 30% yield increases for smallhold farmers in the first season, at very limited cost!
At roots, Abhi and the team are even going so far as to combine Reinforcement Learning with LLMs reasoning abilities to predict the outcome of agricultural interventions.
During this interview, I really got to think that every research lab on the planet should have the pipeline that Abhi has built. Please watch for a really insightful and fun conversation
