AI model

“Once artists understood how to use those tools, it would make amazing things with those tools, but it was the barrier to entry was really high. So just providing that like translation layer between creating this technology and AI models and the more vocabulary…”

“I think we're going to move from focusing a lot on the models and the foundations to focusing on the workflows and the tools and the UIs and the specific products that we built around AI models. And that's going to be, I think, a lot of the focus for kind of t…”

“I've got a team right now at Microsoft that's This sort of experimental prototyping team. It's just the whole thing is like a jazz ensemble. It's really wild. We don't really ship products. We're trying to explore the space and understand some deep things abou…”

“The easy way to understand this is when I say you should think with the model, but plan with code because the models are, they're stochastic and fuzzy. And so if you want something reliable, you should build kind of a scaffold around it in code, something exec…”

“So it looks like it's going to be really hard for someone to differentiate with the quality of the model. And we believe this is going to lead to even, even more fragmentation. So a company like Fall where you get to access many different models at the same ti…”

“If there's a ready-made model that changes everything, this whole like data preparation stage. Can be skipped and only like the biggest of the companies are going to do that. Everyone else, they'll just use something off the shelf.”

“The competitor I'm most worried about is the one that doesn't exist yet. The one that comes along a couple of years from now. And maybe these tools have unlocked so many crazy capabilities that they're able to move very quickly and build so much of what we bui…”

“Particularly in this world of rapidly advancing AI models, it's actually a really healthy instinct, because the less you build as product surface area, the more that the AI can actually fill in, in actually the white space.”

“The classic design mindset is make a quick prototype and throw it away. The classic engineering mindset is build durable systems that can last for 10 years. We find ourselves in this in-between, where we have to build systems that last for six to 12 months. At…”
