#25 Alex Edwards: Tech Lead @GenAI Palantir | Exponential growth in career | Agents AI

Welcome to our second english-based episode. This time we are sitting with Alex Edwards - Tech Lead in Palantir, leading Gen AI platform development. Alex has shared with us his way to this stage of his career, and how he reached it just within 2 years. We talked about the importance of curiosity at work, interpersonal communications and skepticism. Big part of our discussion was around AI, Agents AI, LLMs and building with GenAI tools. We also had a chance to talk about Alex’s time living in Kazakhstan and the advantages of being multilingual.

We are sure this episode will bring much joy to every listener to the same extent we enjoyed it ourselves. 

Добро пожаловать на наш второй англоязычный эпизод. На этот раз мы беседуем с Алексом Эдвардсом - техническим руководителем в Palantir, ведущим разработку платформы Gen AI. Алекс поделился с нами своим путем к этапу своей карьеры и тем, как он достиг этого всего за 2 года. Мы говорили о важности любопытства на работе, межличностных коммуникациях и скептицизме. Большая часть нашего обсуждения касалась искусственного интеллекта, Agents AI, больших языковых моделей и создания приложений с использованием GenAI. У нас также была возможность поговорить о времени, проведенном Алексом в Казахстане, и преимуществах многоязычия.

Мы уверены, что этот эпизод принесет много радости каждому слушателю в той же степени, что и нам самим.
