every.to4 min read

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Big AI companies are practically giving away their best models, and smart founders are cashing in. The pattern is spreading to design, video editing, and beyond. There's tension here: model providers want you to use more AI, while wrapper companies try to minimize those costs. For now, both sides win. The smart play isn't building your own AI but moving fast, capturing your market, and collecting data that becomes valuable later.
