We are seeing massive improvements in LLMs and other models, and through this we can get the best of both worlds. The question is how can we integrate these models and use them in the Enterprise.

In your opinion, what defines Kognitos’s culture, and what would you say to someone interested in joining?
I have a few thoughts –
- Everyone here is curious, which is critical to learning, adaptation, and frankly being skilled at anything in life. Everyone’s curiosity here is off the charts and that’s embodied in the culture.
- People are at the top of their game. This helps drive everyone forward.
- People compromise. The team is open to new ideas and each person’s viewpoint.
On top of that, I’d say the special thing is: if you have a dream, you wake up that morning, and if you can relate it to what we are working on, you build it the next day. You can’t find that anywhere else.
