🎙️Slicing the #AI Landscape: Infrastructure, Models, and Applications Recent developments in AI are shaping the landscape across three key layers: 1️⃣ Infrastructure - Chips and cloud availability constraints are easing 2️⃣ Models - Open-source models are narrowing the gap to leading proprietary models - Market consolidation may lead to a few dominant categories: a) Closed-source models (e.g., OpenAI, Google, Anthropic) b) Open-source models c) Captive models for internal use cases 3️⃣ Applications & Products - Thin layers on top of third-party models are not enough - Adding value requires training models for specific use cases and building feature-rich products 💡 Key Takeaways: - Models can be considered part of the infrastructure, with prompts abstracting complexities for developers - High-risk, high-reward opportunities may lie in 3D models and agentic behavior - Lowest-hanging fruit: Deeply understanding a domain and how AI might disrupt it 🤔 The big question: How do we go beyond models to build important workflows on top? #LLM #generativeAI #technology #ventureCapital https://lnkd.in/d5RWdAMK

Martin Casado on the "perverse economies of scale" for AI providers is worth a listen: https://lnkd.in/e8xHNc8E Once a model is released it can be used to train other models without the huge upfront training expense. This means we can win the war for our digital brains by fast following the Open AI's of the world with open source models: https://lnkd.in/eGsm2ZqV

“There seems to be something really interesting with the way Apple is getting involved [in the AI race]. We're learning a few things from them, mainly that it's about one: focusing that strategy around what your strengths are and two: focusing it on key business challenges.” - Dev Patnaik Dev Patnaik and Michelle Loret de Mola discuss what every leader can take way from Apple’s approach to AI on the Jump Podcast this week. Business leaders are scrambling to respond to the quick rise of AI. Some leaders are procrastinating while others are betting the house. Many scattershot solutions in the hopes that one sticks. And then you have Apple. Companies can take a page from Apple’s book on how to get in the game with AI. First, take advantage of strengths and capabilities to craft a unique and effective AI strategy. 1.     Take advantage of strong products and services you already have. • Apple integrated AI into MacOS and iOS, making it accessible to everyone holding an iPhone. 2.     Prioritize user experience.  • Tim Cook says the goal is to make “your most personal products even more useful and delightful.” • The system will summarize, prioritize, and rewrite messages and emails. 3.     Design proprietary software to get ahead of competitors. • Unlike other companies adopting AI, Apple prevented dependency on chipmakers like Nvidia. 4.     Differentiate by showing you care about your consumer’s concerns.  • Apple focused the majority of its presentation on how consumer data will be protected. Second, use AI to solve your most pressing strategic challenges. Apple has been struggling with stagnant iPhone prices, lack of consumer connection outside of screens, retention of technical talent, and support from public markets. The company’s AI strategy tackles each of these problems. 🔗 Spotify --> https://lnkd.in/g_DQDQt5 🔗 Apple --> https://lnkd.in/gxkvGkXW #innovation #AI #AIconference #Apple #AIstrategy #businesschallenges

Thrilled to witness the dynamic evolution of AI in 2023! 🚀 Exciting developments include: 1️⃣ Quantum Leap: Quantum computing's impact on AI is reshaping possibilities. From solving complex problems to optimizing algorithms, the synergy is unprecedented! Looking forward meeting Damir Bogdan, Stefan Metzger Marc Walder Dominique Reber and others to discuss that in Davos soon. 2️⃣ Responsible AI: Growing emphasis on responsible AI practices. Companies are integrating ethics into their AI frameworks, ensuring transparency and fairness. #AIethics - in that field, I like the businesses-minded approach of Michael Wegmüller, Montassar BenMrad and Dr. Stefan Ravizza from Artifact. 3️⃣ Global Collaboration: International partnerships are thriving, fostering knowledge exchange. Switzerland, with its innovation hubs, plays a key role in this AI renaissance 🌐 #AIinnovation #SwissTech and Guillaume Gabus from digitalswitzerland will build a new an important network in the months coming. Thanks to Manuel Rotzinger I learnt in 2023 also about the fantastic podcast host below. What happened in AI in the past year? https://lnkd.in/eE2efxfa

Iredafe Owolabi and I talked on the #Creativity Boost #podcast about #AI and creativity. Also we address the following questions: What is artificial intelligence and why should anyone care? Why can Chatgpt and other AI tools do what it does? Can artificial intelligence replace human creativity? Is artificial intelligence making human's less creative? will artificial intelligence be able to display human creativity soon or not? why? How can we leverage AI as creatives and creators? How can entrepreneurs and professionals respond to the AI wave? What is the impact of AI on our world and how can we take advantage of it? https://lnkd.in/eQHtN2cM

#AI and #virtualworlds are not separated silos, but converging tech enabling new complex paradigms (and potential exotic mix of challenges). #technology #convergence

VMware Private AI is an excellent secure and scalable foundation for your strategic AI initiatives.

Welcome to The 4am Report, where talk AI literacy for founder-led brands with me, your host, Susan Diaz. Today I will be exploring what it means to think exponentially in the age of artificial intelligence and how this mindset can drastically shift your business landscape. 🚀 Thinking Exponentially: How adopting a 100x mindset, with the support of AI, can lead to significant growth and innovation in your business. 💡 The True Power of AI: Exploring how artificial intelligence can be a game changer, not just a productivity tool but a strategic partner in your business. Listen in!

Provocative Discussion Question: If NVIDIA is worth $2T (95% of the GPUs for AI market)… Is high quality training data also worth $2T? my favorite AI theme is in the news again with the foundation model company Mistral AI out of France From Stratechery : “Mensch made his name at Google with the Chinchilla AI model, which demonstrated that you could achieve superior results from a model with relatively fewer parameters (i.e. smaller) that was trained on relatively more data. Mistral also reportedly is extremely focused on the quality of data used to train its models; I’ve written in the past about the fact that transformers can be trained on relatively poor data, but it turns out that better data very much makes for better models that are cheaper to build and serve.” #artificialintelligence #genAI #AI #RWD #RWE #precisiononcology #vive2024 #VIVE #vive24
