Today we've announced that @sramji has joined @SeMI_tech 's advisory board. This is something I'm super proud of because I remember that -years back- I learned about Sam through his work at @cloudfoundry and later saw one of his keynotes at @GoogleCloudTech Next.

🔥 love the super clear and to-the-point videos by @AICoffeeBreak ! 💡generative feedback loops add a second dimension to RAG by making it a two-way street. What’s generated can be stored back into the vector DB, which in turn can be retrieved later by the generative model 👌 I

💡 Funny – I found this online (source below). The first seed for @weaviate_io was planted when I downloaded the GloVe dataset. Interesting to see it at the root of this tree because almost all models can be used within Weaviate today.
