During a discussion at Meta's inaugural LlamaCon event, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella shared insights on rapid advancements in AI technology. He highlighted that AI now constitutes about 30% of the code in Microsoft’s repositories and expressed optimism about the development of next-gen capabilities, primarily through open-source innovation. Nadella noted significant improvements in computing performance, likening the pace of change to a "hyperdrive Moore's Law." He encouraged a balanced approach to software, recognizing the importance of both open and closed source models in meeting customer demands and enabling interoperability in enterprise applications.
"We are in some crazy sort of hyperdrive Moore's Law," Nadella said during a fireside chat. "Any one of these tech platform shifts has not been about one S curve, it's been multiple S curves that compound."
Distillation is 'like magic' according to Nadella, highlighting the potential of transforming large AI models into smaller ones that retain effective capabilities important for various applications.
Nadella emphasized that open source "absolutely has a massive, massive role to play" in building platforms that can support complex AI orchestration, mixing, and matching models.
He noted, "I'm not dogmatic about closed source or open source, both of them are needed in the world," suggesting a balanced approach to software development.
