The AI boom has been building for over a decade through foundational research breakthroughs. These research findings have been the foundation of some of today’s top AI companies and new innovation ecosystems.

At Lightspeed, we have been close observers of AI research over the past decade and backed pioneering startups built upon the research findings, such as @MistralAI, @SnorkelAI, and @SkildAI.

Our latest blog identifies the most impactful AI research of the past 15 years and its role in shaping today's startup landscape. We found four key research waves that have laid the groundwork for the AI boom of today:

→ Model Architecture Advances
→ Developer Productivity Enhancements
→ Task Execution Innovations
→ Compute Efficiency Optimizations
