About this episode

In 2022, a watershed moment changed the course of our relationship with AI forever, forcing us to reassess what ‘artificial intelligence’ means and its place in our world. Four years later, with generative AI and LLMs now mainstream in our lives, we must ask the question: what comes next?

 

This week, as part of our mini-series celebrating 60 years of innovation with HPE Labs, Technology Now is joined by Kirk Bresniker, Chief Architect at HPE Labs to look to the future and discuss:

 

  • Why AI is more than just a language model
  • The issues with ever-increasing model sizes, and why specialised “expert models” could become the norm
  • What the differences are between large language models and energy-based models
  • How agentic AI and orchestration could enable the next generation of AI systems

 

🎧 Listen for a front-line view of where enterprise technology is headed.

 

Technology Now is HPE’s flagship, award-winning, podcast that brings enterprise innovation to life - featuring real conversations with leaders, customers, and experts on how AI, cloud, and networking are shaping the future of business.

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
