Do GraphDBs give large language models (LLMs) context for doing real work? with Dr. Jim Webber, Neo4j

0:00 0:00

Robb and Josh go deep on a conversation with Dr. Jim Webber, Chief Scientist at Neo4j, about the convergence of large language models (LLMs) and graph databases. Popularized by Neo4j, graph DB creates databases that connects individual data points (or nodes) across a network of information. LLMs are capable of doing real work and providing more reliable responses when they are given context. Graph DBs can leverage all types of data across and organization to provide that context and elevate operations to new heights. This is an exciting discussion about the future of data that will captivate scientists and designers alike.
