I see a lot of companies with fresh faced 25 year olds that are running all kinds of AI stuff. Everything from NPT, Vision, organization tools.
What I don’t get is how they’re doing this with such small teams. How are these young companies building out AI services?
For the most part, they’ve just put a thin wrapper on ChatGTP or some other big AI API.
There are lots of things you can do with freely available tools if you have decent training data and the know-how to tailor the application to your use case.
I’d bet 95% are wildly overpromising to grab investment money because it’s the hot thing right now though.
There are good opensource models one can use and, if needed, fine-tune. Not every task needs chatGPT power. One can also build applications using openai models (directly by openai or by ms azure).
Google has AI models as a service as well.
It is important to understand that an application on top of openai model is not nessesarly a just chatgpt wrapper.
Yes
Once I started to work with an “AI” startup. After a short time, I learned that it was but “AI” just a bunch of if/then statements in Python.
Tbf, the term AI is fairly broad. Very few of these startups specify their use of machine learning
