Schrödinger's SaaS
A newly launched and meticulously built B2B SaaS product at $0 MRR. The SaaS exists in a superposition, simultaneously alive and dead.
Wondering how we give life to our robots?
Just released a blog on how we bring our robotics ideas from initial sketch to functional product in a matter of days!

I also wanted to take a second to reiterate the 75% price drop on embeddings. This is actually pretty crazy. You used to be able to embed the whole internet for ~$50M, now it is down to ~$12.5M.

One of the biggest open questions with AI is its impact on software business models over time. What seems to be under-appreciated about AI is how it can enable significant TAM expansion for a large number of categories over time when software can deliver outcomes, and not just enable existing work.
Right now the dominant business model in SaaS is a per seat model, which inevitably means that the total number of seats you can sell is limited to the number of employees in the organization that are relevant for your particular software. Legal software is roughly capped by the size of the legal team, audit software is capped by the size of the audit team, and so on. The implication of this is that the customer generally *already* has to have not only a need for your solution, but also the existing headcount in the organization to become users of your software. Incidentally, this is often why so many SaaS products tend to go after horizontal productivity categories, because this maximizes the number of potential users you have access to in an organization.
AI flips this on its head, especially with the power of AI Agents, and you get a new form of “outcome-as-a-service”. When AI is actually doing the work within the software itself, you're no longer constrained by the number of employees inside the organization to use the actual software. The software is quite literally bringing along the work with it and delivering a particular business outcome. It's clear the full potential of this playing out is not fully understood, as this represents a massive transformation of software as an industry.
When you are no longer constrained by the size of a team or department to use your software, markets are no longer arbitrarily capped in size. In this new era, software that powers a legal workflow actually brings the equivalent of legal knowledge work along with it, and software for audits brings the equivalent of audit work with it. All of a sudden small businesses, under-resourced teams in large enterprises, and all new geographies begin to open to up as markets. AI will enable otherwise niche categories of software to become much larger, and already large categories of software to become even bigger.
This transformation is similar to what we've seen in other markets where a new innovation has unlocked the size of a market well beyond its original demand. For instance, most investors and economists would have thought the size of Uber or Lyft's market was the size of the existing Taxi market, when in fact the market size was orders of magnitude larger once the shape of the product changed to make the offering easier to consume. We’ve seen this effect time and time again in areas like SaaS, cloud computing, a variety of mobile categories, and more.
We’re only in the earliest of stages of figuring out what this all means for the future of the software business model. Clearly all new variables of monetization will need to emerge when you start to pay software vendors for outcomes as opposed to just the software itself. But inevitably, when you remove the existing dominant constraint of enterprise software, TAM expansion will follow.

🚨 BREAKING:
Open-source robotics program - Le Robot.
@huggingface x @pollenrobotics! 🤝
This is further proof that the 'humanoid race' is not slowing down and more big players are joining.
Check out the first project from Hugging Face's open-source robotics program, "Le Robot," in collaboration with Pollen Robotics! 🎉
ℹ️ Bit of facts about the french humanoid robot:
→ Reachy2 is a humanoid robot designed by Pollen Robotics, trained by Hugging Face to do various household chores and interact safely with humans and dogs.
→ The robot was initially teleoperated by a human wearing a virtual reality headset, who controlled it through various tasks.
→ A machine learning algorithm then studied 50 videos of the teleoperation sessions, learning how to do the tasks on its own and guiding Reachy2 to do them.
→ The dataset and model used for the demo are open-sourced on Hugging Face, and available for anyone to use.
❓ Question: How will open-source robotics AI change the game for robotics development?

I finally understand how GPT generates text.
Really helps to code it from scratch in Python.
There are 5 components:
• token embeddings
• positional embeddings
• transformer blocks
• layer normalization
• output head
It sounds complex, but grokking GPT is simple.
Token embeddings turn input text into meaningful vectors that capture semantic meaning.
Positional embeddings encode positions of input tokens. This tells GPT "where" each token is in the input text.
Transformer blocks are the processing powerhouse. This is where attention and training happens.
Layer normalization smooths out the data, which enhances training stability.
Output head translates the learned features into a next token prediction.
And that's it!
I recommend running the code below and then implementing it step-by-step on your own.
Happy learning.

You can make an unlimited amount of money. Do the following:
Solve a big problem that the client sees as necessary and urgent. Design your entire conversation and content around addressing this.
Here are 12 steps to follow.
Step 1: Who is your client? Describe them. Most get stuck here because they can’t commit to a single dream client avatar. Less is more.
Step 2: What do they want?
Step 3: Why do they want it?
Step 4: What’s the obstacle standing in their way?
Step 5: In an ideal world, what is their dream outcome?
Step 6: What are they afraid of? What negative outcomes are they trying to avoid?
Step 7: What have they tried in the past that hasn’t worked? What gives them pause to try again?
Step 8: How would they measure success?
Step 9: What impact would this have on their life and business?
Step 10: What % of value created feels fair to spend?
Step 11: Are there any reasons preventing them from moving forward with someone like you?
Step 12: What do they want to do next?
Introducing GPT-4o, our new model which can reason across text, audio, and video in real time.
It's extremely versatile, fun to play with, and is a step towards a much more natural form of human-computer interaction (and even human-computer-computer interaction):
Yes!
A compute-kernel that enables building a configurable #SmartAgent for anyone that’s progressively enhanced (and personalized) via loose coupling with #OpenAPI-compliant #APIs.
That’s all we need, at #Web-scale.
