AI agents are evolving rapidly, merging reasoning with tool-calling abilities to tackle complex tasks. This fusion is reshaping how AI interacts with its environment, from web searches to API calls. But it's not without challenges – balancing multiple tasks and selecting the right tools are critical hurdles. As the field progresses, expect to see more specialized models emerge, each fine-tuned for specific functions like planning or tool execution. #AIAgents #GenerativeAI #MachineLearning #TechInnovation #FutureOfAI What specialized AI models are you most excited to see develop?

We're launching the inaugural edition of Beyond Benchmarks, a deep dive into the metrics and trends observed across the early-stage enterprise cloud market. This is the first look at some of the business data around GenAI in SaaS. Some initial observations: 1) 60% of SaaS companies have already integrated GenAI into their offerings (60% of these as part of their current product and 40% as a new product), and an additional 20% are planning to do so this year. Almost half aren't monetizing these features. Those that are are primarily experimenting with both usage-based and flat fee pricing models. 2) Most companies are utilizing OpenAI as their primary LLM, but many are experimenting with multiple models - and we are noticing an early trend towards intelligently routing GenAI inference requests to different models based on cost, performance, and security. 3) Though we are in the initial innings of GenAI, we are seeing some positive signals - companies that implemented GenAI had 7% higher NDR than those that did not. Still early days, but we'll be doing this benchmarking report regularly to track and share how things progress in this new era. Link to report in comments.

Vishal Sachdev highlights the strategic integration of open source and proprietary tech in architecting tech stacks, developer ecosystems and resulting business models. The world class companies effectively balance value commoditization in open source and value capture in proprietary tech. This is the strategic challenge for companies operating in #blockchain and #AI. I believe those who operate at the intersection of blockchain *and* AI stand to win this strategic battle...

FOMO AIMeme or follow what Dragonfly's Haseeb Qureshi. "Truly impactful AI agents will be software engineering agents, according to the VC, potentially causing software prices to collapse. “ In a post-AI era, instead of having to raise millions of dollars for a seed round, you will be able to launch an application with $10K of AI cloud compute,” Haseeb Qureshi said. “Self-financed projects like Hyperliquid and Jupiter will go from the exception to the norm. The amount of applications and experimentation onchain will absolutely explode. For an industry that is driven by software, this deflationary shock is going to lead to an onchain renaissance.” https://lnkd.in/gCFzE46s

Former OpenAI co-founder and chief scientist Ilya Sutskever has launched a new venture dedicated to developing safe superintelligence. This initiative comes after Sutskever's departure from OpenAI in May, amidst uncertainties about his role within the organization. His new research lab focuses on aligning AI systems with human interests, indicating a shift towards ensuring AI safety. The announcement of Sutskever's new company follows a period of turmoil within OpenAI, including the ousting and subsequent reinstatement of CEO Sam Altman. Despite the chaotic events and various leadership changes, Sutskever's commitment to building safe AI technology remains steadfast. With a team of experienced individuals, including former Apple AI lead Daniel Gross, his startup, Safe Superintelligence Inc (SSI), aims to pioneer advancements in superintelligence while prioritizing safety. This strategic move underscores the evolving landscape of AI development towards responsible and ethical innovation.
