266 – Building Better AI with Less

About this episode

David and Kate discuss the future of AI and the potential for smaller, more efficient AI systems.

Continuing their discussion on the future of AI, David and Kate explore how advances in large language models could enable a new generation of smaller, more specialised AI systems. They discuss why the next wave of innovation may come from building tools that are more efficient, focused, and responsive to real-world needs rather than simply pursuing ever-larger models.
