@EverettRandle does not think every app company needs an AI lab.
“They’ll hire a few researchers from Meta, and then all of a sudden it’s like, ‘We can defend ourselves from the labs because we also have a research team. We’re doing AI research... We don't have risk from the labs.'"
He adds that the real advantage still sits with the companies that have the most compute:
“There’s not that many opportunities for an in-house research team to be doing that much groundbreaking work relative to the places that have the most GPUs, which is the frontier labs.”
