Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Jesse Zhang - Building Decagon - [Invest Like the Best, EP.443]

They're building a foundational model.

Jesse Zhang - Building Decagon - [Invest Like the Best, EP.443]

So stuff like that, I think it's quite interesting.

Or even I would put Lockheed's company, physical and

I think those are very exciting.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy

It's just obviously as early to see how those will turn out.

Jesse Zhang - Building Decagon - [Invest Like the Best, EP.443]

But if I'm building a portfolio, I definitely want one of those in there.

It's a little bit more behind in being able to unlock a lot of the enterprise use cases, I would say, because of the non-determinism.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Jesse Zhang - Building Decagon - [Invest Like the Best, EP.443]

So two things that need to happen.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Jesse Zhang - Building Decagon - [Invest Like the Best, EP.443]

One, you need to reframe the way that people think about agents.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Jesse Zhang - Building Decagon - [Invest Like the Best, EP.443]

There's the Waymo effect that often happens where it will be objectively just way better than human drivers and human drivers make a lot of mistakes.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Jesse Zhang - Building Decagon - [Invest Like the Best, EP.443]

But because we're investing in new technology, the bar is a lot higher.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Jesse Zhang - Building Decagon - [Invest Like the Best, EP.443]

So it has to be near perfect.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Jesse Zhang - Building Decagon - [Invest Like the Best, EP.443]

So there's that dynamic that kind of needs to adjust in some folks' mind where instead of

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Jesse Zhang - Building Decagon - [Invest Like the Best, EP.443]

evaluating AI in a way where you're just trying to find mistakes, you're evaluating holistically looking at the sort of success rate.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Jesse Zhang - Building Decagon - [Invest Like the Best, EP.443]

And then if you can frame it that way, well, the success rate is going to be way higher than humans, because again, humans are not perfect.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Jesse Zhang - Building Decagon - [Invest Like the Best, EP.443]

So I think that needs to happen.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Jesse Zhang - Building Decagon - [Invest Like the Best, EP.443]

And I don't think that's fully happened yet in the enterprise.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Jesse Zhang - Building Decagon - [Invest Like the Best, EP.443]

So that trend needs to happen.

Invest Like the Best with Patrick O'Shaughnessy
Jesse Zhang - Building Decagon - [Invest Like the Best, EP.443]

And then on the AI use case side, I think the models need to get better in a lot of areas, right?

We were just talking about voice to voice earlier.
