Best Of 2024: Why Generative AI And WASM Are A Perfect Match
Cloud Native Now, Tuesday, December 31st, 2024
Generative AI and WebAssembly (Wasm) are two trending technologies. Each has broken out of its earlier stereotypes and is now proving itself in surprising ways.
But just as many technologies arise in pairs, so it may be that the two technologies can complement each other.
What is Generative AI?
Generative AI is a subset of the broader quest for artificial intelligence. In short, generative AI describes algorithms that generate works (text, images, voice, music) that mimic human compositions. For example, OpenAI's DALL-E produces images while Meta's LLaMa2 writes texts and GitHub's Copilot creates code. Each of these generates works that are indistinguishable (at least at first glance) from what an artist, writer or software developer may produce.
