Thanks for making us all feel old, Raghu

#

So, vMAX? Still got that EMC influence.

#

Police Interceptor F150?!

#

One of my first cars was a '91 Mustang LX 5.0 with the police interceptor package. It was silly and the car should have been named "irresponsible." But it was a blast to own.

Sounds like it would be one of the unlockables in GTA or... NFS

Sumit saying, "They're Demanding!" Should be a downloadable soundbite.

Has anyone here experimented with GenAI outside of just sending queries to ChatGPT or Bard?

Looks like Pure announced their CVO-equivalent in Azure now. Welcome to 2014?

#

DID RAGHU JUST GET KANYE'ED BY GENERAL COUNSEL?!

#

That was odd but informative

Relevant. I dig it.

#

It's a weekly conversation internally on our side, too.

You almost need that much horsepower if you run any of the bigger LLMs. Falcon40b and Llama2-70b require multiple GPUs.

No mention of how you enter raffle? Or just anyone registered and it’ll show in app?

Yay Amanda!

Ah, have to attend stuff.

leans in

#

I wonder if I could bring my 3090 box or fan shroud and get Jensen to sign it

#

I mean, you can try.

#

I think you should!

#

I doubt I would be able to track him down anyway. Not like he's going to be randomly roaming the show floor

#

Thanks for joining us for the keynote Watch Party! Keep the conversation going here in this channel all week for announcements and updates for VMware Explore 2023! <@&1132040288823689296>
