Proxify Tech Breakfast: The Future of AI - Own the Reward Function, Own the Domain
💡 The Future of AI - Own the Reward Function, Own the Domain
Big AI models grab the headlines—but real breakthroughs come from teaching AI what to value.
Generalist models are plateauing—gains are marginal and costs keep rising. At this Proxify Morning Bytes session, Stefan Wendin – Head of Intelligent Systems at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden - will dive into how creating smart reward functions for specialized domains can unlock faster, cheaper, and more effective AI.
Learn why the biggest labs are already maxed out on math, code, and logic—and how small, domain-focused models could outperform them and define the next wave of AI innovation when you own the reward function.
If you’re a tech leader - or an AI practitioner, researcher, or enthusiast - looking to broaden your perspective and equip your teams for the future, this tech breakfast is perfect for you.
