Well, thanks to Paul, Harel, and Julian, we collected a bunch of thoughts on what happened in 2023 and more importantly what folks think might happen in 2024. These thoughts are our own and I’m sure they are wrong, but I thought it might be useful to others to find it interesting. There is a Google Slide deck that comes with it so lmk if you want it.
Of course, all of these are random opinions for entertainment only. It’s not like either of us knows the future or has any deep information, but surfing the Internet makes it easy to learn what others are thinking. Here’s the YouTube version, subscribe now

ST1. August Update on AI 2024-08-08 – Rich Tong Family and Friends
There's been a hiatus mainly because we've been shipping products, but more because I lost all my skills at making new videos. I was stuck for a long time on Drop Zones and doing a better intro and outro, but that's a digression for Final Cut Pro nerds.
In this episode, we cover the latest trends as of August 8, 2024, on AI and the latest trends. The big news has been the shipment of so many Large Language Models (LLMs) and what it means for AI which is way more choice and confusion.
Plus the emergence of a much better set of tools that are much smaller as well called Small Language Models (SLM sometimes) and also Agents that are chopping the problem into many small pieces.
I also wanted to introduce Steven to the mix, we are going to have a rotating set of co-hosts and solo episodes as well so we can get the content out on time and not take 6 weeks for post productions. Thanks to the new intro and outro, that should be easier. I'm playing with these a bunch, but check out https://tongfamily.com and https://tne.ai where I hang out a bunch!
