Listen "Shock and Nawww : DeepSeek and the Future of LLMs"
Episode Synopsis
Join host Jim Milbery along with guests Alan Williamson (CTO of HiBid) and Kristopher Kubicki (CTO of OpenBrand) as we react to the recent DeepSeek AI announcement, its implications for the AI industry, private equity, and technology companies. We discuss the shock and awe response from the VC and tech communities, debating whether it signals a true paradigm shift or an overreaction. The conversation underscores how AI, particularly LLMs, is reshaping software development, cybersecurity, and investment strategies. While DeepSeek has fueled fears and recalibrations in the market, the real challenge is keeping up with the constant AI evolution—where new models and frameworks emerge at a staggering pace. Companies must remain agile, strategic, and realistic in their AI adoption to truly capitalize on this technological shift.
