Every startup that uses AI (plugging APIs together with little to no in-house model training or novel research) that is banking on AI continuing to improve to smooth over their issues will likely not last.
LLM API driven startups should build their product assuming zero improvement from the point we're at right now since that's the only guarantee anyone has.
Exactly the approach I’ve taken for my startup and is baked into the business plan. I have some pretty unique flows leveraging current-gen LLMs. Then there is an AI agent marketplace. It’s there because shoot, maybe AI agents will be super potent and I want a place for them to be integrated. At the same time, the product works perfectly fine with just humans on the platform. It’s a hedge.
