Not every problem needs a SOTA generalist model, and as we get systems/services that are more "bundles" of different models with specific purposes I think we will see better usage graphs.
In the food industry is it more profitable to sell whole cakes or just the sweetener?
The article makes a great point about replit and legacy ERP systems. The generative in generative AI will not replace storage, storage is where the margins live.
Unless the C in CRUD can eventually replace the R and U, with the D a no-op.
There have been ongoing movies and tv shows so each generation of kids grows up with Sonic.
I think there's something about Sonic's face that is timeless, innate, prehistoric even.
First, I tried enabling o3 via OpenRouter since I have credits with them already. I was met with the following:
"OpenAI requires bringing your own API key to use o3 over the API. Set up here: https://openrouter.ai/settings/integrations"
So I decided I would buy some API credits with my OpenAI account. I ponied up $20 and started Aider with my new API key set and o3 as the model. I get the following after sending a request:
"litellm.NotFoundError: OpenAIException - Your organization must be verified to use the model `o3`. Please go to: https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/general and click on Verify Organization. If you just verified, it can take up to 15 minutes for access to propagate."
At that point, the frustration was beginning to creep in. I returned to OpenAI and clicked on "Verify Organization". It turns out, "Verify Organization" actually means "Verify Personal Identity With Third Party" because I was given the following:
"To verify this organization, you’ll need to complete an identity check using our partner Persona."
Sigh I click "Start ID Check" and it opens a new tab for their "partner" Persona. The initial fine print says:
"By filling the checkbox below, you consent to Persona, OpenAI’s vendor, collecting, using, and utilizing its service providers to process your biometric information to verify your identity, identify fraud, and conduct quality assurance for Persona’s platform in accordance with its Privacy Policy and OpenAI’s privacy policy. Your biometric information will be stored for no more than 1 year."
OK, so now, we've gone from "I guess I'll give OpenAI a few bucks for API access" to "I need to verify my organization" to "There's no way in hell I'm agreeing to provide biometric data to a 3rd party I've never heard of that's a 'partner' of the largest AI company and Worldcoin founder. How do I get my $20 back?"
I am also curious about the mentioning of Indian males in the text alongside native American women, with the chart excluding Indian males, this is also somewhat confusing.
It is hard to get a sense of the actual data supporting the claims in the article.
