#288: Our LLM Suggested We Chat about MCP. Kinda' Meta, No?

from The Analytics Power Hour · host The Analytics Power Hour

If there's one thing that we absolutely knew would be coming along with the increased interest and use of AI, it would be… more acronyms! And, along with the acronyms, we pretty much could predict that we see a lot of online flexing through casual dropping of said acronyms as though they're deeply understood by everyone who's anyone. We tackled one such acronym on this episode: MCP! That's "model context protocol" for those who like their acronyms written out, and Sam Redfern joined us to help us wrap our heads around the topic. You see, MCP is kinda' like some other more familiar acronyms like API and XML. But, it's also like… fingers? Sam's enthusiasm and explanation certainly had us ready to dive in! This episode's Measurement Bite from show sponsor Recast is an explanation of model robustness from Michael Kaminsky!
