As Deeptech investors we are constantly meeting with top AI founders and seeing AI evolve at breakneck speed as evidenced by the latest OpenAI o1 model which has complex reasoning ability far superior to the average human. Our recent deep dive with the Antler cohort led by Shubham Sandeep and hosted by Ishavasyam Dash uncovered some critical insights for founders building in AI: 💡 Opportunities to seize: 👉 AI Hardware: Energy efficient AI chips for edge computing is going to be big as evidenced by Apple Intelligence inference happening on device. Embodied AI where intelligence is brought to physical objects. New form factors like AI-driven wearables could shift the landscape beyond smartphones. 👉 AI Infrastructure & Tooling: LLM model testing, monitoring, security, synthetic data for training are already being implemented. Hallucination detection, small language models, and domain specific foundational models (genetics, olfactory senses, material science etc.) are tough problems to solve we are excited about. 👉 Enterprise AI: Especially in industries with low digitization (think healthcare backend). There's still room to make big strides here —automating complex workflows using AI agentic systems can lead to 50-80% efficiency gains.  ⚠ Areas to approach with caution: 👉 Wrappers around LLMs: The market is shifting fast—startups relying on these will be subsumed by larger foundational model players soon. 👉 Overhyped Sectors: Be wary of code generation, marketing automation, content generation; they're becoming crowded. 🔦 Founders should keep up with the shortened innovation cycles in AI—what took 3 years to build now takes 6 months. Execution speed and deep domain expertise are more important than ever. If you're working in AI, think about where you can deliver transformational change, not just incremental improvements. #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #Entrepreneurship #Startup #AIResearch #AI #VentureCapital
