On prem is back. And in many ways!
On-prem is back.
Eclipse CEO Lior Susan says a lot of industries never stopped needing it for security, latency & cost, & AI is making their bet on @oxidecomputer look even better:
“Our view starting the company was: not everything is going to move to the cloud.”
“There’s a lot of industries that still want to do on-prem for security, latency, & cost.”
I think there’s going to be many opportunities within the layers of infrastructure that’s going to optimize/evolve/refactor the stack over time. We’re experimenting with inspiration from a paper publisher eight days ago that may have tremendous value and there are countless examples of this.
We are so early! @martin_casado 🙌
Martin Casado on why the labs missed Jev: they're building beings that speak, and software needed a model that chooses.
"LLMs were text in, text out. They generate text, and they came from chat... We've spent the last few years trying to take this thing that spits out text and cram it into a traditional program... It's just been super janky."
"Jev basically said, 'Generating text as output is very expensive, but it's also more complicated than you need... If you give us a set of options, we'll choose the best option. We can do that incredibly fast, incredibly cheaply, but also with much more accuracy because we can train just for this.'"
"This has probably been the fastest adoption of an AI model since ChatGPT. It's been remarkable because we were all primed for this."
"[The labs] are trying to create beings, and beings speak. If you're trying to create God, God speaks in natural languages. This is really about something that's for traditional software."

It’s so good to have AI bring the outside perspective to the amazing accomplishment of western culture.
Set it to your local anthem, play it in every school once a week.

I wanted a crm for the vc's i've been talking to this past year so I got muse to harvest my cal and email, vibecoded just the functionality I wanted using @BackboardDevs studio (obvi). It's fully local, incredibly useful, and i won't need it after the raise is done.
The age of disposable software is here.

One of the funniest things about the anti-AI crowd is that they seem genuinely convinced people using AI are worried about earning their respect. Like oh no the person voluntarily declining the most powerful cognitive leverage of our lifetime thinks I’m cheating :(
Anyway I have the output of sixty of you now
