YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOverheard in 2023: “A minute not spent building the model is a minute wasted. Build the best model, and users will come.”
But, could the battleground for consumer AI shift from model-centric to user experience-focused in 2024?
Alex Immerman, Partner on the Growth team at a16z, delves into moving beyond the conventional wisdom of "build the best model." While Large Language Models (LLMs) may offer a first-mover advantage today, Alex believes the enduring success may hinge on old-fashioned moats such as network effects, high switching costs, scale, and brand.
