Episode notes
LLMs: Top Layer Or Infrastructure?
- A key unresolved question is whether LLMs sit at the top of the stack (the product) or at the bottom (an API inside products).
- If LLMs become infra, point solutions will remain distinct and competitive.
Benchmarks Don't Translate To Trust
- Benchmark scores (e.g., '83% on Excel modelling') are hard to interpret and communicate to customers.
- Customers paying high fees need clearer signals about reliability and error modes.
Explain What 'Better' Means
- Clearly communicate model strengths, weaknesses and the risk of errors in product messaging.
- Show concrete examples so users understand what "better" actually means in practice.
