Origins of Dust and Its Evolution

The idea for Dust originated from the founder's experience at OpenAI, where he conducted research on large-scale models and their reasoning capabilities. Initially, Dust aimed to create a developer tooling platform facilitating the integration of large language models (LLMs) with external APIs and services. However, with the arrival of new generations of LLMs, the focus shifted toward enhancing employee productivity within organizations. This transition underscored the importance of developing a tool that allows businesses to leverage AI in practical applications tailored to their specific needs.
