Willow taps CoreWeave to simplify AI model training
AI model training can leave startups managing infrastructure alongside the products they are trying to build. Willow Care Inc., the company behind AI dictation app Willow Voice, chose CoreWeave Inc. for its forward-deployed support rather than compute alone. The application combines speech recognition with language processing, according to Lawrence Liu (pictured), co-founder and chief technology…
Willow Care Inc., the creator of AI dictation app Willow Voice, has partnered with CoreWeave Inc. to streamline the process of training AI models. Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Lawrence Liu explained that combining speech recognition with language processing allows the application to focus on evaluation alignment rather than infrastructure management.
Willow fine-tunes its own speech recognition model using real-world audio, such as a user speaking softly in a coffee shop, and employs a small language model to post-process the audio into accurate text. Liu emphasized the importance of this small LLM in producing correctly formatted text based on user inputs. As dictation demand grows, inference is becoming a faster-growing area for Willow.
CoreWeave's expansion into inference aligns with this trend, aiming for a future where keyboards become obsolete, and users can simply speak and have their computers understand them.
