Trust at Scale: Security and Governance for Open Source Models // MLOps Podcast #338 with Hudson Buzby, Solutions Architect at JFrog.Appreciate JFrog for their support in bringing this blog to life.Join the Community: https://go.mlops.community/YTJoinInGet the newsletter: https://go.mlops.community/YTNewsletter// AbstractFor better or for worse, machine learning has traditionally escaped the gaze of security and infrastructure teams, operating outside traditional DevOps practices and not always adhering to organizations' development or security standards. With the introduction of open source catalogs like HuggingFace and Ollama, a new standard has been established for locating, identifying, and deploying machine learning and AI models. But with this new standard comes a plethora of security, governance, and legal challenges that organizations need to address before they can comfortably allow developers to freely build and deploy ML/AI applications. In this conversation, we will discuss ways that enterprise-scale organizations are addressing these challenges to safely and securely build these development environments. // BioHudson Buzby is a solution engineer with an emphasis on MLOps, LLMOps, Big Data, and Distributed Systems, leveraging his expertise to help organizations optimize their machine learning operations and large language model deployments. His role involves providing technical solutions and guidance to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of AI-driven projects.// Related Linkshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh2hNg76zo3d1qQqTWIQxDg~~~~~~~~ ✌️Connect With Us ✌️ ~~~~~~~Catch all episodes, blogs, newsletters, and more: https://go.mlops.community/TYExploreJoin our Slack community [https://go.mlops.community/slack]Follow us on X/Twitter [@mlopscommunity](https://x.com/mlopscommunity) or [LinkedIn](https://go.mlops.community/linkedin)] Sign up for the next meetup: [https://go.mlops.community/register]MLOps Swag/Merch: [https://shop.mlops.community/]Connect with Demetrios on LinkedIn: /dpbrinkmConnect with Hudson on LinkedIn: /hudson-buzby/Timestamps:[00:00] Value of Centralized Gateway[00:35] Point Break vs Big Lebowski[01:47] AI adoption failure stats[05:12] ML vs Generative AI[12:04] LLM adoption in enterprise[18:08] MLOps Community alternative[23:43] AI governance challenges[27:39] Organizational debt comparison[31:41] AI tool sprawl[35:59] MLOps to platform evolution[40:56] MLOps then vs now[49:48] Model trust and safety[52:19] AI model effectiveness[55:54] Product discovery process[58:38] Wrap up

From making them smarter with context (like user history and real-time data) to mixing chat and UI for smoother interactions, he breaks down what’s working and what’s not. He also shares why evals matter, how to test with real users, and why AI only succeeds when it actually makes life easier, not more complicated.Guest speaker: Nishikant Dhanuka - Senior Director of AI at Prosus GroupHost: Demetrios Brinkmann - Founder of MLOps Community~~~~~~~~ ✌️Connect With Us ✌️ ~~~~~~~Catch all episodes, blogs, newsletters, and more: https://go.mlops.community/TYExploreJoin our Slack community [https://go.mlops.community/slack]Follow us on X/Twitter [@mlopscommunity](https://x.com/mlopscommunity) or [LinkedIn](https://go.mlops.community/linkedin)] Sign up for the next meetup: [https://go.mlops.community/register]MLOps Swag/Merch: [https://shop.mlops.community/]#contextengineering #aiengineer #aiinfrastructure #podcast

The Era of AI Agents in Marketing // MLOps Podcast #337 with Joel Horwitz, Growth Engineer at Neoteric3D.Join the Community: https://go.mlops.community/YTJoinInGet the newsletter: https://go.mlops.community/YTNewsletter// AbstractWe’re entering a new era in marketing—one powered by AI agents, not just analysts. The rise of tools like Clay, Karrot.ai, 6sense, and Mutiny is reshaping how go-to-market (GTM) teams operate, making room for a new kind of operator: the GTM engineer. This hybrid role blends technical fluency with growth strategy, leveraging APIs, automation, and AI to orchestrate hyper-personalized, scalable campaigns. No longer just marketers, today’s GTM teams are builders—connecting data, deploying agents, and fine-tuning workflows in real time to meet buyers where they are. This shift isn’t just evolution—it’s a replatforming of the entire GTM function.// BioJoel S. Horwitz has been riding the data wave since before it was cool—literally. He spoke at Spark Summit back in 2014 and penned a prescient piece for MIT Tech Review on data science and machine learning before they became boardroom buzzwords. A former big tech executive turned entrepreneur, Joel now runs Neoteric3D (N3D for short), a digital design and data growth agency that helps brands scale with smarts and style. When he’s not architecting next-gen growth strategies, you’ll find him logging long miles on the trail or coaching his sons’ soccer and baseball teams like a champ.// Related LinksWebsite: https://www.neoteric3d.com~~~~~~~~ ✌️Connect With Us ✌️ ~~~~~~~Catch all episodes, blogs, newsletters, and more: https://go.mlops.community/TYExploreJoin our Slack community [https://go.mlops.community/slack]Follow us on X/Twitter [@mlopscommunity](https://x.com/mlopscommunity) or [LinkedIn](https://go.mlops.community/linkedin)] Sign up for the next meetup: [https://go.mlops.community/register]MLOps Swag/Merch: [https://shop.mlops.community/]Connect with Demetrios on LinkedIn: /dpbrinkmConnect with Joel on LinkedIn: /joelshorwitzTimestamps:[00:00] Joel's preferred coffee[00:53] Agentic workflows in marketing[04:26] Agentic AI vs big data[08:24] Creative outreach automation[13:08] LLMs in marketing optimization[17:36] Traffic relevance[23:36] End-to-end AI workflow[28:10] AI in task automation[32:08] AI systems architecting[38:00] AI vs Thought Leadership[43:10] AI as sparring partner[45:22] AI shifts human roles[48:23] Wrap up

Demetrios chats with Arpita Vats about how LLMs are shaking up recommender systems. Instead of relying on hand-crafted features and rigid user clusters, LLMs can read between the lines—spotting patterns in user behavior and content like a human would. They cover the perks (less manual setup, smarter insights) and the pain points (latency, high costs), plus how mixing models might be the sweet spot. From timing content perfectly to knowing when traditional methods still win, this episode pulls back the curtain on the future of recommendations.// BioArpita Vats is a passionate and accomplished researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence, with a focus on Natural Language Processing, Recommender Systems, and Multimodal AI. With a strong academic foundation and hands-on experience at leading tech companies such as LinkedIn, Meta, and Staples, Arpita has contributed to cutting-edge projects spanning large language models (LLMs), privacy-aware AI, and video content understanding.She has published impactful research at premier venues and actively serves as a reviewer for top-tier conferences like CVPR, ICLR, and KDD. Arpita’s work bridges academic innovation with industry-scale deployment, making her a sought-after collaborator in the AI research community.Currently, she is engaged in exploring the alignment and safety of language models, developing robust metrics like the Alignment Quality Index (AQI), and optimizing model behavior across diverse input domains. Her dedication to advancing ethical and scalable AI reflects both in her academic pursuits and professional contributions.// Related Links#recommendersystems #LLMs #linkedin ~~~~~~~~ ✌️Connect With Us ✌️ ~~~~~~~Catch all episodes, blogs, newsletters, and more: https://go.mlops.community/TYExploreMLOps Swag/Merch: [https://shop.mlops.community/]Connect with Demetrios on LinkedIn: /dpbrinkmConnect with Arpita on LinkedIn: /arpita-v-0a14a422/Timestamps:[00:00] Smarter Content Recommendations[05:19] LLMs: Next-Gen Recommendations[09:37] Judging LLM Suggestions[11:38] Old vs New Recommenders[14:11] Why LLMs Get Stuck[16:52] When Old Models Win[22:39] After-Booking Rec Magic[23:26] One LLM to Rule Models[29:14] Personalization That Evolves[32:39] SIM Beats Transformers in QA[35:35] Agents Writing Research Papers[37:12] Big-Company Agent Failures[41:47] LinkedIn Posts Fade Faster[46:04] Clustering Shifts Social Feeds[47:01] Vanishing Posts, Replay Mode
