AI is advancing at an incredible pace. Even those in the industry struggle to keep up with all the latest details. Which is why it is reassuring to know that organizations like Salesforce (and others) are committed to ensure AI advancements are safe ands ethical. The full article is below but here is a quick summary for you: 1. Salesforce joined the White House's voluntary AI commitments to ensure the safe, secure, and ethical use of AI technologies. 2. The company conducted 19 internal and 2 external red teaming exercises, reducing harmful outputs from AI models by 35%. 3. Salesforce published over 20 articles to educate companies and governments on ethical AI use and risk management. 4.

Let’s go! Here’s a snippet from Amazon Q2 earnings call. “We’re continuing to make progress on a number of dimensions, but perhaps none more so than the continued reacceleration in AWS growth,” said Andy Jassy, Amazon President & CEO. “As companies continue to modernize their infrastructure and move to the cloud, while also leveraging new Generative AI opportunities, AWS continues to be customers’ top choice as we have much broader functionality, superior security and operational performance, a larger partner ecosystem, and AI capabilities like SageMaker for model builders, Bedrock for those leveraging frontier models, Trainium for those where the cost of compute for training and inference matters, and Q for those wanting the most capable GenAI assistant for not just coding, but also software development and business integration.” (Text copied from from Amazon investor relations page)

Had this exact conversation today at a Dell Technologies Partner Advisory Board meeting in Austin. Looking at the most successful companies in the world, a mind-blowing 52% of the Fortune 500 from 20 years ago no longer exists. Looking forward, half of today’s largest companies won’t exist in 2044. Now look at the broader picture. The tech industry has been the fastest growing, most successful industry over the past decade (think of cloud, mobility, cybersecurity, and now Gen AI) and 71% of businesses have failed in those 10 years. We are currently going through changing buyer demographics, firmographics, platform economics, and a generational turn in technology all at once. Easy to see why so many companies will miss these trends and the fatal blow it will become. For fun, go check out the valuations of NVIDIA, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, Google, and other trillion-dollar firms back in 2013. Oh, and forget business for a second. Where are your retirement funds invested right now? Does your financial advisor (or you) understand platform economics thoroughly enough?

Robert Truesdell, Chief Product Officer at Pangea, has led product teams at companies like Netronome, Phantom Cyber, Splunk, and now Pangea. Trying to figure out how to support hybrid billing models and multiple GTM motions? Is that complexity compounding as you release multiple products? Rob and I recently sat down to talk about Pangea's monetization architecture and how they answered these questions internally. Many companies treat pricing & packaging as an afterthought, resulting in fragmented systems that drain engineering resources and restrict business agility. Pangea sets a different standard. From the start, Pangea focused on building systems for pricing & packaging that enhance business agility as the company grows. "We took it really seriously, really early… It's a value prop of our company — the ability to operate on pricing & packaging very efficiently & extract great insights. Whether you're building or buying this type of infrastructure, it only gets harder to solve later."🛠️ Their approach is super instructive for product and engineering leaders looking to support multiple go-to-market motions and hybrid billing models across multiple products. For a deeper dive into how Rob and his team designed their architecture, including their their metering system and price list management, check out the full episode. 🎥 Highly recommended for product & engineering leaders steering similar strategies.

Regardless of the industry you work in, size of company, or stage of AI adoption - this is a great read and a solid "state-of-the-state" assessment of LLM preferences/adoption today. Not so much prescriptive, but well done educational perspectives.
