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 get their act together)
As a growing number of our everyday use-cases of powerful GenerativeAI models fall below the frontier of “the best models,” they will be enabled by cheaper commoditized models.
And we’ll be running many models locally on device within a few years. The distinguishing factors for companies to succeed using AI will be the radical refactoring of workflows via interface innovations and the data itself - enabling companies and people to uniquely leverage their own data in powerful ways.
Data stewards and Designers FTW! :-)

Often designs from frustration
Right now, greater skill is being brought by compute and developing a democratization of many things (code, design, etc.). Because of this, taste will probably be the most important skill
Taste is derived from culture and overlap of industries
Because of that

The distinction between design as mindset versus output matters more than ever—whether you are a designer or not. As AI reshapes how we create, we face uncertainty about which human capabilities will endure and which will transform.
