🔍 What Does OpenAI's Decision Not to Release Orion Mean for the Future of AI? OpenAI has stirred the pot regarding its development schedule by announcing that it won't be releasing a model code-named Orion this year. This counters recent buzz from The Verge, which hinted otherwise about potential breakthroughs and innovative technologies coming from the AI giant. A spokesperson clarified via TechCrunch email, “We don’t have plans to release a model code-named Orion this year,” adding that there are still many exciting advancements on the horizon. This decision raises questions: With a plethora of emerging technologies in their pipeline, what could be among those "other great technology" releases? Are we entering an era where quality is prioritized over quantity in AI developments? In an industry where rapid advancements often overshadow methodical progress, OpenAI’s pause might signal a shift towards more thoughtful innovation processes. For startups and enterprises looking to navigate through these uncertain waters, adaptability remains key. It's imperative to stay connected with leading organizations like OpenAI while also seeking partnerships that drive corporate innovation. Don’t miss out on opportunities to collaborate with startups at the forefront of technological advances. If you’re eager to explore how you can drive innovation within your own organization and connect with like-minded startups, let’s talk!

Which #AI startups are VCs really looking for? 👀 Fortune recently polled 9 VCs, including Touring’s Nagraj Kashyap, on which AI startup ideas they really want to hear. For Nagraj, he’s keeping an eye on open-source development interfaces for AI development — think an open-source Nvidia CUDA alternative. Check out the full list from Fortune to get an inside look into what VCs are most excited about in AI, linked in the comments below!

What’s next? 🤔 I’m sure everyone’s feeds are full of demos from OpenAI's recent event. What fascinates me is that we’re now seeing a shift in how we talk about tech adoption in business. Traditionally, experts discussed how businesses would adopt new tech. AI was no different initially. Think about how the internet changed the way we work, shop, transact, and connect. But what we saw yesterday from OpenAI opens a completely new golden gate to a world where businesses, whether in education, health, enterprise, or any other sector, will never be the same. Time will reveal the innovations to come, but if I can make one prediction, it’s that we’ve been upgraded from a walking trek to a rocket in one shot. I’m curious to see what next-gen startups and companies will look like in the near future. #Innovation #AI #Future #Tech #Startups #NextGen

Just discovered Exa, and I'm blown away! 🚀 This startup is building an AI-powered search engine specifically for AI agents. Think about it: as AI becomes more prevalent, we need infrastructure that caters to their unique needs. Exa is leading the charge in creating this "agentic web." What sets Exa apart? Their embedding-based search engine actually understands entities, not just content about topics. Founded by Will Bryk and Jeffrey Wang, Exa has already secured a $17M Series A round led by Lightspeed Ventures, with NVIDIA's NVentures and Y Combinator joining in. It'll be exciting to see how Exa reshapes the internet landscape. It's like witnessing the birth of a new, AI-optimized web. Who else is keeping an eye on this space? 🤖🌐 #AI #FutureOfSearch #TechStartups #VCFunding

“In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” - Albert Einstein. The recent #WWDC24 highlighted an exciting challenge for small businesses and startups: the need to adapt and innovate in a world dominated by big tech companies like Apple and Google. Take Grammarly, for example. Once leading in AI writing assistance, it now faces fierce competition from big tech companies. This competition is a call to action for all of us to rethink our strategies and innovate faster. OpenAI’s GPTs store is another case. In just a year, it has pushed many SaaS businesses to pivot or shut down. The ability to build custom GPTs is impressive, but it also means startups must up their game to stay relevant. While AI is making life easier, it’s also making our industry more dynamic and exciting. This is our chance to stand out, push boundaries, and create unique solutions. Let’s remember many groundbreaking ideas come from small beginnings. This competition is not a setback; it’s an opportunity to think differently and play better.
