- But just like the internet, someone will show up later and think about something like Uber and cab driving. Someone else showed up and thought, “hey, I wanna check out my friends on Facebook.” Those end up being huge businesses, and it’s not just going to be one model that OpenAI or Databricks or Anthropic or someone builds, and that model will dom...

Not sure about this one. Just an interesting snippet. I figure there are some reinforcing loops in the data, where the models get better with more data, attracting more users, generating more data. At the same time, I believe there are huge advantages in the knowledge on how to train and how to manage inference at scale, which makes a huge difference. I do not see anyone catching up to OpenAI at the moment, especially with their new finetuning offer. An interesting factor might be figuring out the right data mix for pre-training and using a better screeing to weed out unwanted behavior. Whoever can figure that out at scale might have a huge advantage, if they can keep it a secret. - This transformation begins with less-complex, one-off models (typically referred to as machine learning) to do simple tasks that are forgiving to mistakes; for example, Netflix using AI to recommend shows.

- Interface > Data > Models
While media still focuses on the “next best model” rat race, increasingly believe that the “interface” and “data” layers will further distinguish market leaders while the “models” layer becomes increasingly commoditized and pushed to the edge (becoming increasingly obvious as mobile chips get better and OSes g...
