    Scott Belsky discusses the evolving landscape of AI models, emphasizing a shift towards a multitude of niche models rather than a few dominant ones. He notes that the rapid advancement of these models is leading to a focus on cost-effectiveness and leveraging local or open-source models. This shift challenges the notion of a few major players dominating the AI space, as Scott explains:

    I thought that, gosh, there'd be like one company or three major players that are going to be the next Googles of the world. Maybe that's not true.
