    SMALL DATA, BIG COMPUTE (10 MINUTE READ) [10]=20

    budget to operate large language mo=
    dels on big data - most business
    use cases will inevitably operate on les=
    s than a million rows of data.

    Effective long-term remote work require=
    s specific skill sets and DNA to pull off. Many organizations suddenly tran= sitioned to remote work during the pandemic. While it worked out great in t=
    he first year, it eventually became detrimental to creativity and collabora= tion, so some companies switched back to hybrid in-office work where employ= ees come into the office several days a week. This article discusses how on=
    e company handled the transition to remote work and then to hybrid work and=
    explains the lessons it learned from the experience.

    AI systems are requiring larger and lar= ger pools of data to learn from. The available pool of data is now getting = too small, and at the same time, some data owners are blocking access to th= eir information. The industry's need for high-quality text data could outst= rip supply within two years. The data shortage is a frontier research probl= em, so many efforts to solve it are currently being done in secret as the s= olution could be a competitive advantage.
