If they're interesting to you, you can catch the full-length show when it drops on Wednesday. Welcome back to the show. We are here with Sohail Kushan from Anthropic. Sohail, we're so excited to chat with you. Thanks for giving us some time. Yeah, of course. I'm really excited to be here.

All right, well, give us just a brief background. I worked on five or five years at a self-driving trucking company called Embark, trying to make big rigs to drive themselves. And then continued my work in AI by joining Anthropic. I joined earlier this year, and I've been working on making Cloud better for various use cases, especially in the knowledge work domain. So, Sohail, we talked about so many topics before the show. It is hard to pick a favorite, but I'm really excited about talking use cases and talking about common mistakes people make when interacting with LLMs. What are some topics you're excited about? Yeah, I think I'd love to just like talk a bit about where I think things are going from here.

Awesome. Let's dig in. All right, that's a wrap for the prequel. The full length episode will drop Wednesday morning. Subscribe now so you don't miss it.
