Opinion
Oppenheimer: AI and machine learning are the killer apps for serverless
“I actually think that AI and machine learning are the killer apps for serverless microservices.”

Assertion Not checkable as stated
Oppenheimer: Serverless AI architecture can cut infrastructure costs by up to 85%
“Using serverless, we can actually track as the demand comes in. We can use our load balancers to quickly initiate and replicate these models over the entire infrastructure, going up and down with the demand, allowing for savings of up to 85% of the infrastruct…”

Insight
Oppenheimer: Data is heavy and expensive to move, but compute is light and cheap
“So there's a design principle that we use, personally, at Algorithmia, which is data is heavy and expensive to move, but compute is light and cheap.”

Assertion Supported
Oppenheimer: Algorithmia is likely the only serverless GPU provider
“We're probably the only product out there that does serverless over GPUs, and it's really important from a price and a performance perspective, but all the thing is that we actually do cross-cloud.”
