it just turns out in general with the switching costs of the infrastructure piece is so much higher.
Even with like API businesses, people tend to think you can just switch over to another API.
There's so much logic embedded in
calling the API in the software itself, there's a a lot more switching cost compared to
Your regular SaaSelf are a consumer.
This was debate we had two years ago.
I think whether the general model and the most capable model will rule or a lot of small, medium sized models that are very good at specific tasks, that's going to be the future.
It turns out both are true.
When we talk about complex systems, uh you cannot just use one model that drives everything, at least not today, but you can compose very capable and powerful models to like take certain tasks and also chain together processes from like
processing document, to like feeding in a model to have some reasoning and give you back really clean and structured data to make decisions and put into your application and to serve end users.
Like that's a complex system that invokes many model calls instead of just like one big models task.
Probably should have talked about it more.
The way I think that relates to our world is if you think about what is the
new form factor of infrastructure that needs to become part of this context engine engineering.
It goes back to a lot of well, we're obsessed about it with data pipeline.
How do you feed the right data and context into the models or into the context and how do you have agents use tools or the infrastructure that will provide a discovery and guarantees the observability of these tools as well?
Like it's the classic infrastructure problem that's still unsolved.
So it's a very exciting time.
I cannot agree more.
I feel like for many of the developers and programmers I talk to today, they're like going to Disneyland just because how many great tools there are to help them move faster, like build things they have always wanted to do on both side projects and also their main job.
