Shima, Will, Marcin and Vehicle Production Planning - Episode 12
Recently, Zapata AI, BMW, and MIT's Center for Quantum Engineering collaborated to solve a complex problem: how can you most efficiently schedule vehicle production? This problem needs to take into account many many variables, so how did the team optimize the process? With AI of course! Listen to this episode to find out more about how exactly they did and what results they found.

Yudong Cao and Quantum Generative AI - Episode 11
Large, generative machine learning models are almost everywhere today, but sometimes they run into some trouble. In today's episode Yudong Cao joins us to talk about how generative AI can be used for more than just toy problems, what business use cases will benefit from it, and how quantum computing ties in. Plus, we dive into synthetic data and tensor networks!

Bob Sorensen and Quantum Computing's Tie to HPC - Episode 10
Quantum computing is an incredibly complex industry, how can someone possibly attempt to understand where the current state is and where it’s heading? Using data! That’s exactly what Bob Sorensen does as Chief Analyst for Quantum Computing at Hyperion Research. In his analysis he views quantum computing through the lens of high performance computing, drawing parallels and illuminating differences.
The survey of 415 decision makers Bob mentioned: https://www.dwavesys.com/media/an1helvq/hyperion_report_v2.pdf

Andy Walter and Waiting Is Not An Action - Episode 9
When it comes to major disruptive technologies like AI, data analytics, and quantum computing, many companies are playing to not lose. That’s fine, but if like us at Zapata you want to play to win, you have to realize that waiting is not an action. Andy Walter knows that with his extensive experience in corporate IT evolution and digital transformation from the last 3 decades. Now he has a book by the same title – Waiting Is Not An Action. If playing to win sounds more appealing than playing to not lose, this is the episode for you.
