In Q1, funding to startups in the industries of military, national security and law enforcement dropped to $118 million, a 74%…

ML models are probabilistic. Imagine that you want to know what’s the best cuisine in the world. If you ask someone this question twice, a minute apart, their answers both times should be the same. If you ask a model the same question twice, its answer can change. If the model thinks that Vietnamese cuisine has a 70% chance of being the best cuisine and Italian cuisine has a 30% chance, it’ll answer “Vietnamese” 70% of the time, and “Italian” 30%. This probabilistic nature makes AI great for creative tasks. What is creativity but the ability to explore beyond the…

The Goldilocks Scenario Every VC Is Hoping For

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models

Over the past few years, we’ve witnessed the meteoric top of the venture and startup markets where valuations were through the roof, investors were competing with each other on speed (instead of due diligence), founders were exclusively focused on raising the next round, and startups had an almost unlimited source of capital to pursue growth at all costs. Those days ended with a series of significant blows to the ecosystem including the Silicon Valley Bank collapse, global wars and rising interest rates. Now the industry has settled into a new, healthy normal where valuations have returned to reasonable levels, only…
