Three founders shared how AI first teams turn breakthroughs into real products, from model to production.
Most important takeaways:
- You’re product should become better when the models do.
- Defensibility: going deep beats going wide —> choose a vertical and optimise your models for that specific-context.
- Trade-offs between novelty vs. stability ——> switching your model always comes with stability costs; only switch when the improvements are significant enough to justify the variance caused by it.
