    📣 Celebrating Rhianne Wood in this month's #EmployeeAppreciation Post! Rhianne has been with us for a year but it feels like much longer…in a good way! She coordinates client activities and keeps her colleagues in line – everyone is in the right place and has what they need when she’s around. Always first to volunteer for work, and always thinking of new ways to do things. We’re glad to have you on board Rhianne! Continue reading to learn more about Rhianne's journey! "After completing my Master's degree in Contemporary Culture and Literature, with a specialisation in the technological embodiment within the 21st century, I embarked on a career in the fintech sector. My wealth of experience in a variety of sectors has directly informed my approach to innovating operational processes with the latest advancements in AI and automations. My journey at Filament began last year and perfectly aligns with my twin passions: pushing the boundaries of technology and advancing projects with momentum. My extensive background in fintech has been instrumental as I've engaged in various projects across different teams, focusing on operations, process management, and project coordination. The culture at Filament is truly invigorating—everyone is supportive and always ready to lend a hand, creating an atmosphere of teamwork and continuous innovation. Working alongside the brilliant minds in the C-suite not only inspires me daily but also feeds my eagerness to explore new challenges in the fast-evolving landscape. Here, I am always learning, growing, and driving change, making every day both exciting and immensely rewarding." Thank you for all your amazing work and drive to push Filament forward! #CareerGrowth #team #product #ai #privateequity

    Our CTO, James Ravenscroft, PhD, provided some insightful commentary on a recent paper discussing recent findings on the AI model scaling laws and how they will impact the growth of #LLM models. https://lnkd.in/gj-Y4TT8 #machinelearning #NLP #AI #data #datastrategy

    The #AI Model Scaling Law is dead! https://lnkd.in/eFM7QJ6H This is a pretty significant finding! Over the few years, a lot of AI progress has been down to "scaling laws" - basically bigger models with more parameters (the "neurons" in the neural network) perform better. This paper (which isn't yet peer reviewed) suggests that scaling laws are limited by data and that to improve #LLM performance much beyond where it is today we need "exponentially more data". AI companies have already slurped up all the useful free data and spent millions tidying it up. Data is likely the bottleneck preventing the next GPT3->GPT4 magnitude improvement. Is this the end of the road for the current generation of AI? Doubtful! We're already starting to see big players pivoting towards different architectures, building proprietary datasets and adding tooling and instrumentation to existing LLMs. This finding does reinforce the idea that data is "the moat" for your business owning and fine-tuning your own models could be a significant commercial advantage over consuming a third party API once you get beyond proof-of-concept.

    Now is the opportune moment to start building your long-term data and AI asset. The initial step involves integrating data into CRM systems, a crucial step often overlooked, resulting in low adoption rates. Given the wide use of various data sources across Private market firms, consolidating all market intelligence becomes imperative. Utilising a unified data source like Valu8 Company Intelligence combined with internal data and CRM proves to be the best practice and economical approach to kick-start the development of a long-lasting AI data asset.

    📣 Celebrating Phil Skade in this month's #EmployeeAppreciation post! Phil is like our MC, in the middle of everything keeping many plates spinning. He’s hard working and conscientious and always looking for ways to improve. Never a dull moment, and managed against the odds (in our opinion) to come back from his snowboarding trip in one piece. Phil embodies the Filament team spirit, and we’re proud that he’s one of us! Read Phil's Journey with us below: “I joined Filament in November 2021 after having spent a decade in Project, Program and Business Analysis roles in the Financial Services sector. Before all that I’d graduated with a degree in Business Information Systems and so it was probably somewhat inevitable that I gravitated towards big projects which leveraged new technologies and systems to deliver business and customer value! I made the transition into Product Management at Filament as the company itself was making the transition from being a Consultancy to a Product-led organisation, which proved to be a hugely valuable learning opportunity for me personally. During this time we adopted a continuous discovery mindset when ideating on new initiatives or concepts and made prototyping/wire-framing a key component of our product discovery processes. We continued to improve on our experimentation mindset especially for our backend-matching and machine-learning led solutions and we implemented a quantitative data view of how our users were interacting with Syfter so we could properly measure user adoption. On joining the organisation in 2021 I was especially passionate about putting good Product and User Experience Design at the heart of how we build products. I’ve always been super grateful that the Filament Leadership team has backed me when I’ve wanted to make changes, and so this led to us bringing our first full time Product Designer into the Syfter Product Team in early 2022. After Filament completed its Series A in April 2023 I was promoted to Head of Product and tasked with expanding our Product & Design function, which resulted in the hire of another two Product Designers to continue driving the product forward! I promise I’m not exaggerating when I say I love working alongside top-class Design and Engineering professionals every single day to deliver meaningful solutions to customer and business problems. It’s these people who’ve helped drive the 20x growth in user numbers we’ve had over the last 2 years and I’m proud to be playing a small part in all that!” #innovation #team #product #success #experience #growth #learning #development
