There’s been a huge uptick in ‘generative AI’ startups lately, and as is usual during hype cycles, there’s some really high quality startups and some that missed the mark. This article isn’t meant to be critical of any specific startups or approaches to using LLMs. Instead, I thought I would share my thoughts on what I have seen work very well for businesses that I have worked with and recommendations for finding truly high leverage solutions for your business using LLMs.
I’ve written this in the format of FAQs so it is easy to browse through. Feel free to jump around to the questions that seem more interesting to you.
This is not meant to be a technical guide to LLMs. The intended audience is founders, and not necessarily technical founders. If you’re looking for more technical references, you can checkout my page on LLM Readings or Getting Started with Large Language Models.
