Key post that gives a bit of insight into what the future of AI could look like.
“The most interesting thing happening in AI isn’t that one model is getting smarter. It’s that intelligence is becoming increasingly customizable. The companies that win won’t necessarily be the ones with the biggest models. They’ll be the ones that turn intelligence into something uniquely their own.”
The ability to combine your unique data, workflows, and a layer that can route intelligence to whatever model best performs the task is clearly the future.
