Stop chasing every new AI model. The real edge? Model-agnostic infrastructure, quality data, and smart prompt engineering.

@wallaceme Essex sold the F1 numberplate for £400k 15 years ago and the owner apparently rejected a £10m offer for it 5 years ago. Arguably it would have been better for Essex to hold onto that one for a few years more

So, when I wrote this a couple of weeks ago I was obviously unaware of the fact that o1 was around the corner! x.com/technicalchops… It's been interesting playing with the o1 preview. I have a lot of thoughts but this week's article is on a different topic.
