How a former DeepMind researcher raised at a $300M pre-seed valuation before launching a product
Drawing on more than a decade spent helping build some of the world's most influential AI systems, including research that later informed the development of ChatGPT, Andrew Dai explains why he believes visual AI is one of the next major frontiers in artificial intelligence.
My job is developer productivity. I’ve worked in developer infrastructure for six years now so I have skin in the game here. I want the AI productivity story to be true. More output, tighter timelines, happier and more productive engineers. Who wouldn’t? But I keep looking at the actual research and...
