THE NEW LANGUAGE MODEL STACK

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

More companies than ever before are bringing the power of natural language interaction to their products. The adoption of language model APIs is creating a new stack in its wake. Sequoia Capital asked 33 of their companies about LLM adoption and found that nearly every company in the Sequoia network is building language models into their products. The new stack for these applications centers on language model APIs, retrieval, and orchestration, but open source usage is also growing. Sequoia’s survey also delivered insights such as the fact that companies want to customize language models to their unique context and that it’s still early for AI.
