fine tuning unlocks so many more enterprise use cases now that you can fine tune gpt-4o, it will be interesting to see what people decide to use between open source (Llama 405) vs closed provider (OpenAI)
openai.com/index/gpt-4o-fine… “Today, we’re launching fine-tuning for GPT-4o, one of the most requested features from developers. We are also offering 1M training tokens per day for free for every organization through September 23.”

Been helping out a late stage company The adoption of AI tools there is painfully slow They literally JUST got their teams access to use ChatGPT while coding. And only 1 in 10 devs are actually using it. Mind-blowing how some are still sleeping on AI. We're still so early

Claude's new prompt caching will drop the costs of all of my products dramatically - back and forth chats - quick edits to an output - storing large contexts wish the cache was longer than 5 minutes but still, so excited every single time they ship

definitely one of the top startup finance talks I've seen wild that videos like this are available for free online tldr: build a strong business with a good contribution margin before scaling it
The last 10 minutes of this talk from David Weiden at the KV CEO Summit was the best 10 mins on startup finance / fundraising I've seen. Redacted (but still worth it) version:

acquihiring-hiring billion dollar founders to get around the FTC is crazy
Replying to @nikunj
Getting a bunch of DMs, apparently people don't seem to fully grok what's happening. Here's the gist: - Current FTC team has made acquisitions basically impossible - Large incumbents want good AI talent to shepherd their AI plans - Incumbents strike a deal with the founders and select employees to join the company - Since they can't acquire, incumbents do a "licensing" agreement that pays the startup some money to make them look the other way - These startups may still end up ok, but have lost the best talent to the incumbents - Employees that didn't go to these incumbents will most likely leave and hold a bag of options that are definitely not worth what they should be

"Smaller" Indie Hackers to Watch: @tseringredmond (201 followers) @siyabuilt (1,617 followers) @shraybans (1,395 followers) I'd bet money on these three. Bookmark this tweet. Check back in December. You'll see their followers (and $$$) grow a ton!

Super interesting approach that Character AI is taking to simplify prompting on their platform We're trending to a world where advanced prompting is considered "technical" Power users (non-technical) spend an hour to craft a niche chatbot rest of their users benefit

omg - insane to see this gpt4o is asked to count to 50 it counts to 30 and then takes a mini breath it feels so human
ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode counting as fast as it can to 10, then to 50 (this blew my mind - it stopped to catch its breath like a human would)

Had a deep chat with a creative director about AI x media His take: AI will make human creativity MORE valuable, not less. "When everyone's a superhero, your unique vision becomes the superpower." Master the tools, but don't lose your inner creativity. That's the real edge.
