Scaling AI:

Simplicity Meets Compute

About Episode 3

In this riveting episode of Baya Systems’ Tech Threads podcast, tech luminaries Raja Koduri, founder and CEO of Mihiri AI and Dr. Shailesh Kumar, founder and CEO of Baya Systems unpack the explosive growth of the intelligent compute era where AI demands unprecedented scalability. From Koduri’s trailblazing accelerated computing work at Apple, Intel, and AMD to Kumar’s innovations in software-defined networking, they reveal how today’s supply-constrained systems are evolving through chiplet technology and simplified architectures to meet the tripling annual needs of AI models.

Koduri stresses simplicity in design, advocating for software abstractions and hardware that hide complexity to enable seamless scaling. Kumar details the need for configurable, software-defined fabrics to support heterogeneous compute workloads. 

From the elegance of “simple” scaling solutions to the critical role of software-hardware co-design, this episode is a masterclass in understanding the tech that powers our world—and what’s coming next. This episode is a must-listen for tech enthusiasts and professionals alike, offering a thrilling glimpse into the trillion-agent AI future and the scalable, boundary-pushing innovations shaping tomorrow’s world.
