Hello and welcome to our live coverage recap ofDellTechnologies World 2024.
So what can we expect from Dell Technologies World 2024?
How many times will we hear the phrase “AI” today?
And there is an Elvis impersonator at registration…because, you know, Vegas!
So how many times will we hear the words “artificial intelligence” today?
Michael Dell, Chairman and CEO, takes to the stage.
Customers are putting their data to work, and Dell wants to help encourage companies to embrace AI.
“We’re moving from computation to cognition - towards the age of AI,” he says.
“This is really big, and it’s moving really fast.”
Lightning-fast networks are on offer via newPowerSwitchproducts, developed alongside Broadcom and Nvidia.
“Our ecosystem is bursting with innovation,” he says.
Hwang notes how Dell is helping the company by boosting automation, especially when building LLMs on-prem.
“It’s both a sprint and a marathon,” Dell says.
And here’s our biggest VIP guest - Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO, NVIDIA.
Dell and Nvidia have been partners for decades, and Michael asks Jensen about the “AI revolution”.
“Every aspect of computing is being changed,” he notes.
And with that, Jensen Huang heads off to a rapturous farewell.
Although they’re actually 15 minutes late…what could be going on backstage?
First up, a question about customer demands and requests.
But the whole Dell portfolio is able to come together to offer customers a well-rounded product.
“While everyone’s data is unique, the problems are usually the same, " he says.
He adds the company needed to standardize processes to ensure using AI is actually efficient.
What’s T-Pain’s favorite LLM?
Chainsmoker 1 (they do have names, but we haven’t been told which is which) says.
He admits it was pretty mind-blowing, but also slightly scary in terms of legal or copyright issues.
As for T-Pain, he favors the visual, as he can’t do everything himself!
And that’s a wrap here, and the end of our day one coverage!
Good morning and welcome to day two of Dell Technologies World 2024!
“It’s a shift all the way through the stack,” he notes.
Final question is around the future of apps in the AI era - what role will they play?
It’s exactly what it sounds like…. “AI workloads need unbelievable intensity.”
It’s time for our first guest, and Clarke welcomes Charlie Kawwas, Ph.
D., President, Broadcom to get more in depth on high-speed networking and its role in AI.
Luckily, Dell is a wonderful partner!
First up - accelerated compute, as Lewis walks us through some of the company’s new releases.
There’s a lot of love in this room for Nvidia, it’s clear.
After that barrage of news, we’re going to see some demos from partners.
Now, imagine bringing an LLM or small language model to mainstream PCs…surely not, right?
Maybe not - not in the age of AI PCs!
It can even work offline - giving you the opportunity to work when travelling, even on Airplane mode.
And that’s a wrap on the day two keynote!
“How could you not be excited to help build PCs of these next generation?”
Burd agrees, noting he has been challenged to simply deliver great products to their customers.
Burd adds the borders are beginning to blur, as productivity apps and AI being built into workflows.
