“We actually did that for almost three years. We raised our pre-seed and seed rounds on, on this idea. We got a product out with a couple of billion messages exchanged between users and this Tamagotchi AI.”

“I would say, you know, machine learning engineer, and by machine learning engineer, I mean someone who's really building a new architecture for AI models and able to train state of the art models. They are just in my opinion, a few people in the world who has …”

“I think the biggest thing is, in my opinion, all companies will have their own AI models. Like all companies will have their chat GPT or their GPT-IV.”

“In the simplistic terms, the model or like AI is like a code base, right? It's a bit different, but at the end of the day, it's a code base, right? And so it's kind of silly to say, oh, this code base is better than this code base, or there's going to be one c…”

“Because it's a completely different way to build technology, right? It's a way where you have to have scientists, for example, working for six months on a new architecture, on a new model before releasing it. So it's a different paradigm of how you build softw…”

“If you look at models closer to Runway ML or Stability AI or like PhotoRoom in Paris, you see these AI native startups that are actually building, training their own models. And how they can, in my opinion, build much better things than the ones that just use …”
