This is the Audio Only version of this episode.
 
In this episode we talk with Piero Molino of Studio Atelico about his research and work in fine-tuning, quantization of models, and moving towards a future where inference happens on-device in real time at game-latency speeds. He also shares his perspective of coming into games from a ML background and what he's learned along the way.

In this episode we talk with Andy Mauro of Storycraft about how Generative AI enables a new pattern for games. Playful Creation is a way that many folks have described interacting with GenAI, and we look at that context in games -- where it works, where it creates friction, and how this could be a great new kind of game for players moving forward.

This Episode: The crew is joined by Nick Walton of Latitude, makers of AI Dungeon, to talk about why the idea of D&D run by LLMs is so ubiquitous, what we've learned about actually implementing that, and what player (and developer) value is there.
 
Playing With Inference is a new podcast tackling the intersection of generative AI and games. We are talking with folks who are actively building and exploring in the space to get past the hype and noise and look at what's actually possible today, where is the space going, and what does it take to build with these tools.
