There seems to be a new model of more impressive every week. Given the fast pace, how can the founders position themselves better to build on this technology? In TechCrunch sessions: aiOn June 5 in Zellerbach Hall in UC Berkeley, we will organize a panel on “how founders can build on existing fundamental models” to answer some existential questions that face new ai companies.
We are delighted to have leaders of Google Deepmind, Cohere and twelve laboratories, three companies at the forefront of the development of the ai model, to help us answer some of these questions.
Attendees can listen directly from the source about what IA models developers are trying to build below, how ai models are improving and where the starting founders should (and should not) be building. If you want to learn to grow with ai models developers, and not be crushed by them or leave behind, this is the panel for you.
