Episode notes
AI as the Fourth Wave
- AI is the fourth wave after internet, mobile, and cloud, showing similar Big Bang patterns.
- Frameworks, infrastructure, apps, and educational content emerge rapidly, needing organization.
Monetizing AI Models
- AI models, like MP3 files, are stateless, making monetization difficult.
- Value lies in SaaS services, SLAs, and integration with applications, similar to Spotify's model.
Rise of Small Language Models
- Smaller, domain-specific language models (SLMs) are becoming increasingly relevant.
- Quantization and optimization techniques allow running these models locally, even on laptops.
