Despite the growing tech rivalry between the United States and China, the two sides are also collaborating in various ways, according to CNBC. For example, Microsoft and ByteDance have now teamed up on an artificial intelligence project called KubeRay, which aims to help organizations manage and run artificial intelligence applications more efficiently.
Ali Kanso, a principal software engineer at Microsoft, and Jiaxin Shan, a software engineer at ByteDance, attended the Ray Summit in San Francisco earlier this week, where they discussed their progress with data scientists, machine learning experts and other developers interested in building large applications using the open source software Ray.
They also gave an in-depth explanation of this, highlighting the progress they have made so far with interested parties in creating large applications using Ray, the software they believe helps drive AI applications that run on multiple computers, i.e., distributed computing. Simply put, Ray is open-source software that assists in running AI programs on multiple devices.
“Jiaxin and I have been working on this open source project for about a year, and that’s the beauty of these kinds of communities,” said Kanso, who has a PhD in computer science.” Even though we’re not in the same company, we see each other every week and collaborate every week.”
Shan previously worked as a software engineer at Amazon Web Services and now lives in the Seattle area, close to Microsoft headquarters, according to LinkedIn.
