Study Notes

Generative AI and Frontier Models

  • The market for Large Language Models (LLMs) is likely to become an oligopoly, with a few key players dominating the market.
  • Frontier LLMs, such as GPT-4, require massive capital investments, making it difficult for smaller companies to compete.
  • Current contenders in the frontier LLM market include closed-source models like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, and open-source models like Llama (Meta) and Mistral.

Funding and Investments

  • Funding for frontier model training is increasingly coming from big tech companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, as well as nation-states backing local champions.
  • NVIDIA is also a significant investor in foundation model companies.
  • Venture funding for these companies is relatively small compared to investments from big tech companies.

Cloud Providers and Revenue

  • Cloud providers like Microsoft's Azure generate significant revenue, with Azure generating $25B in revenue per quarter.
  • The investment in OpenAI by Microsoft (~$10B) is dwarfed by Azure's revenue.
  • Azure's revenue growth is partly driven by AI, with a 6 percentage point increase in Q2 2024, translating to an annualized increase of $5-6B.

Infra Companies and Open Source

  • Infrastructure companies like Braintrust, Scale.ai, and others provide various services, including evaluation, prompt playgrounds, logging, and proxies.
  • The AI cloud stack is evolving, with different needs between startups and enterprises for AI cloud services.
  • New cloud providers and tooling, such as Anyscale, Baseten, Modal, Replicate, and Together, are emerging to cater to startups' needs.
