This Industrial AI Podcast episode features an interview with Srinivas Kuppa, Chief Strategy and Product Officer at Symphony AI. The discussion centers on Symphony AI's industrial AI offerings, specifically their industrial large language model (LLM), which they claim was the world's first. Kuppa details the company's AI platform, Iris Foundry, which includes solutions for people, processes, and equipment in manufacturing, and how their LLM is integrated and used within this platform, emphasizing its grounded nature and explainable AI (XAI) approach to reduce hallucinations. A key takeaway is that Symphony AI's LLM is not sold as a standalone product but is a component of their broader platform, focusing on data operations and contextualization as critical for successful AI implementation. The interview concludes with a discussion of global market perspectives on industrial LLM adoption and the limiting factors that could impede AI growth, including energy consumption, data quality, and cybersecurity concerns.
