Mega-bestselling author of the "Designing ML Systems" book, Chip Huyen, joined me to cover her top tips on, well, designing ML systems! ...as well as her burgeoning real-time ML startup. Can you tell we had a ton of fun?

Chip:
• Is Co-Founder of Claypot AI, a platform for real-time machine learning.
• Authored the book “Designing Machine Learning Systems”, which was published by O'Reilly Media and based on the Stanford University course she created and taught on the same topic.
• Also created and taught Stanford's “TensorFlow for Deep Learning” course.
• Previously worked as ML Engineer at data-centric development platform Snorkel AI and as a Senior Deep Learning Engineer at the chip giant NVIDIA.
• Runs an MLOps community on Discord with over 14k members.
• Her helpful posts have earned her over 160k followers on LinkedIn.

Today’s episode will probably appeal most to technical listeners like data scientists and ML engineers, but anyone involved in (or thinking of being involved in) the deployment of ML into real-life systems will learn a ton.

In this episode, Chip details:
• Her top tips for designing production-ready ML applications.
• Why iteration is key successfully deploying ML models.
• What real-time ML is and the kinds of applications it’s critical for.
• Why Large Language Models like ChatGPT and other GPT series architectures involve limited data science ingenuity but do involve enormous ML engineering challenges.
