Neysa EVP Reveals Top Secrets to Running AI Models at Scale Without Failure

Ritesh Dhoot, EVP of Engineering at Neysa and founder of AI startup Egress, joined Simulated Reality to discuss what it takes to run AI models at scale on a budget without failure. As a 17-year Cisco veteran, Dhoot brings a wealth of experience in building complex systems.

The conversation touched on the importance of having an 'engineering DNA' that prioritizes reliability and uptime, often referred to as the '99.9999% mindset.' This approach is reminiscent of building terabyte routers, where even brief outages can have catastrophic consequences.

Dhoot also highlighted the significance of unlearning as a leader's most powerful skill, emphasizing that it allows leaders to adapt quickly to new situations and challenges.
