This AI stuff is moving so fast it’s like trying to catch a rocket with your bare hands! Super cool to see Google DeepMind and Cohere sharing their secrets at TechCrunch AI. I’m curious if they’ll spill the tea on how to actually make these models work for small startups without burning a hole in the budget. 😎

Learning AI model building from Google DeepMind, Cohere, and Twelve Labs at TechCrunch AI sounds awesome! But it's a bit overwhelming with all these new models. I hope they break it down into simpler terms for us newbies. Can't wait to see what I can learn!

The AI session at TechCrunch was mind-blowing! Learned so much from Google DeepMind and Cohere. The only downside was the crowded room, but the insights were worth it. Can't wait for the next one!
