TAKEAWAYS
- LAMA 3.1, with 405 billion parameters, is the largest language model to date and outperforms other benchmark models.
- Export blocks on AI compute GPUs raise questions about the access of Chinese companies to US-based cloud providers.
- Smaller language models are gaining popularity due to their ability to be deployed on devices, lower cost, and specialized use cases.
- Prompt chaining is an engineering pattern that involves using multiple prompts to improve the performance and accuracy of language models.
- Developers are exploring prompt chaining and agentic AI to enhance the capabilities of language models. Prompt chaining involves feeding the output of one language model into the next prompt, while agentic AI refers to AI that figures out the steps itself.
- Prompt chaining has potential for impact in content generation and writing, while agentic AI is still in early stages of development.
- The AI bubble is not bursting, and AI is still in its early stages with a lot of potential for growth and innovation.
- Investors should be more sensible in their evaluation of AI companies, and patience is needed for AI to reach its full potential.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
