___ Hot weekend takes ___
- We’re in the Bitcoin moment of Gen AI: In 2009, Bitcoin was $0.0009. If you were nerdy enough to set up mining capacity (and later in 2012-2015 believer enough to just invest in it), you would’ve made so much.
- Unlike many (mainly investors) belief 12 months ago that the foundational models and startups with deep tech are worth investing in and the rest have no defensibility, it turned out to be the other way around.
There are so many foundational model providers right now, and the competition on accuracy, developer tooling, and pricing is brutal.
Many people ask me during Sales what model Finna is using and my answer has always been: "We are using a combination of models, every model has its strengths and weaknesses". So far we have these models used in different parts of our system:
- Cohere
- Anthropic
- OpenAI
and since last week, Google's Gemini Flash model with 70% price reduction and impressive performance.
So you might ask, what should we work on then to be in front of Gen. AI? 👇🏼
___ The weekend’s reflection ___
Anything you work on related to Gen. AI is helpful, even just using them for your information extraction, data entry, coding, and cooking recipes, …
Surprisingly even though the adoption has been massive for LLMs, mainly top providers like OpenAI and Anthropic, still a lot of people not using them or don’t know how to use them for their tasks, even Ph.ds and Business people.
Last week I quickly demoed my AI coding setup to a few friends, and how in 15 minutes I went from a prompt to a fully functional, deployed app, a landing page that can easily cost anything between $100-1000. I will share a video on how to do AI coding, as an ex-non-technical founder, ship major features in our platform every single day. Make sure to subscribe to know when it's published.
If you want to work more hands-on with Gen. AI, either:
- Learn how to build and use it for creating leverage (mine the currency of Gen AI) from people who’ve done it. YouTube and Blogs are also helpful sources.
- With building products becoming easier and easier, sales and distribution are core. Enterprise SaaS is here to disrupt lots of old processes and optimize ways of working for so many.
That’s why I’m so excited about Finna, where we build the Operating System for Investor Relations in listed companies. I ship code and do work on Finna every single day, including weekends. The opportunity is so ripe that not capturing it feels so wrong for me.
If you’re an extraordinary achiever, hard-working, and can get things done no matter what, I’d happily hire 1-2 more people in Finna in Sales and Engineering. We are shipping 3 new products this fall and I’m looking to increase the average IQ in the company, hit me up on LinkedIn or X, if you want to be in the frontline of Gen AI SaaS in Enterprise.
Let's mine some Gen AI power, shall we?
