Guess what? Anthropic, the San Francisco AI wizards, just unveiled Claude 2.1 – their brainy language model that’s flexing with a 200,000-token context window. That’s right, bigger than OpenAI's GPT-4! Thanks to a Google bromance, Claude is now a genius at handling full codebases or novels, leaving GPT-4 in the dust. And rumor has it, Claude 2.1 handles prompts like a boss, making GPT-4 look like it's catching its breath. Oh, and it's 50% better at avoiding 'hallucinations' than its predecessor – precision talk that's sure to give GPT-4 a run for its money. Just one catch: for the full 200K tokens, you gotta be a fancy Claude Pro member – no free lunch in the language game! 🚀
With the OpenAI drama cooling off, it's game on for startup founders diving into the AI realm. TechCrunch+ is your secret sauce for insights, but here's the spicy scoop: don't just slap AI on your product like a ChatGPT sticker. Be bold, build defensible magic, and watch out for OpenAI's expanding empire – you don't want to be their snack. Cash-strapped? No worries, you can still rock the AI startup scene on a shoestring. And guess what? OpenAI's little crisis might just be the birthplace of the next gen of AI mavericks. Ready or not, 2024, here we come!
Mike Murchison, CEO of Ada, dives into the frontline of customer support to enhance his startup's AI-driven solutions. Ada, valued at over $1 billion, uses a "reasoning engine" with language models like those from OpenAI, powering customer support for companies like Meta and Shopify. With the introduction of Generative Actions, Ada enables AI bots to fetch personalized information, surpassing human capabilities. Murchison advises AI entrepreneurs to see technology as a problem-solving tool and treat AI like an employee that improves over time. Speaking at U of T, he encourages students to tap into the wealth of research and entrepreneurship resources available.
Imagine this: from a confused kid with his first startup to announcing a whopping $650m funding on CNBC. The secret? "The Power of Imagination." For wefox's founder, it's not just dreaming big, but doubling the industry's benchmarks at each stage. From $15m Series A to his audacious $240m Series B, it's about setting sky-high goals and deeply convincing yourself that you're the wizard who can make it happen. In the world of startups, it seems the magic begins where imagination takes the lead.
So, SXSW, the ultimate startup fiesta, wasn't born from genius but a failed New York music plan. Back in '87, during Spring Break, the founders turned the slowest music week into a hit. From 700 peeps to 60,000 badge holders today, they're the OG trash-to-treasure story. The lesson? Entrepreneurs, like rockstars, turn overlooked ideas into gold—persistently. SXSW isn't just celebs; it's where Twitter and Obama happened. So, if you're a startup, SXSW isn't a festival; it's a launchpad. Apply for Pitch; who knows, you might be the next Siri or Klout. Rock on, startup dreamers!
