The best ways to build on top of foundation models, with DeepMind, Twelve Labs, and Amazon
New AI models are dropping all the time, and existing models are getting better all the time.

At TechCrunch Sessions: AI event, industry experts from DeepMind, Twelve Labs, and Amazon all shared their strategies for growing with foundation models instead of being left behind. In the minds of these experts, that challenge also presents an opportunity: Founders get the chance to build what they really want to build, with more tools and resources out the gate than ever before, thanks to existing AI infrastructure that's only improving.
