📌 Topics
With Disheng we explored what it means to be an AI-first company. We talked about many things, including:
💸 Challenges and costs of fine-tuning AI models — when it makes sense to fine-tune a model, what it takes to do it, and when it is better to stick with base models + good prompts instead.
📚 Bringing AI research into products — how to marry cutting-edge research and consumer products.
🔋 The role of AI in enhancing productivity — the unique Translated model, which focuses on humans-in-the-loop and continuous improvement.
🤖 The future of AI and human collaboration — where do we go from here? Is AI going to steal our jobs?
