* Originally published on Calcalist , April 20 2023 Since the day ChatGPT was introduced in November 2022, it has become the fastest growing consumer product, putting the words ‘generativeAI’ in the mainstream. GenerativeAI is advancing at a breakneck speed.
Outside of the US and China, the UK and Israel continue to be the largest unicorn hubs globally, and there will be a premium on Israeli innovation and founders—not just in defence and cybersecurity. They understand they’re entering a tougher market, but they are determined, and generativeAI means that they can do more with less.
2023 was the year of generativeAI, but more specifically, the year we witnessed the power and potential of LLMs, large language models. Both startups and large tech companies leaned in hard, incorporating automation tools and generativeAI applications across verticals. Visual generativeAI made strides as well.
We are seeing some of this play out in the generativeAI space, where the cloud providers are active investors to attract future revenue. Cloud Wars: As businesses increasingly adopt cloud services, the battle between cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) intensifies.
New details about the real costs of training the model (much higher) and the source of the data (distilled from OpenAI against the T&Cs) are slowly surfacing, but it’s clear that Chinese AI startups are here to stay. The company claims its AI models rival those of top U.S. Let’s dig in to the main players.
In November 2022 I published a post titled “ generativeAI will go mainstream when it goes from playful to useful “, and I think you will agree that this transition is in full swing. 2023 was the year generativeAI went mainstream The pace of advancement in generativeAI has been astounding.
Last year there were a lot of voices about the need to ‘slow down’ development of ‘G’d like’ AI (or basically, the pursuit of AGI). The Chip Wars between the US and China is an example of AI inequality, but so is the prevalent use of English as the main language to access LLM technology these days.
DeepSeek AI sparked a nationwide push in China to deploy its LLMs everywhere from hospitals to local governments. Microsoft unveiled the 3.8B-parameter parameter text-only Phi-4-mini and 5.6B-parameter parameter Phi-4-multimodal, claiming both outperform similar-sized models in certain tasks.
Adversarial attacks against AI fall into three types: Data misclassification – to generate false positive or negative results. Synthetic data generation-to feed false information. Data analysis – for AI-assisted classical attack generation. AI Attack Surfaces.
It’s only been a bit over a month since the start of 2025 past year has witnessed seismic shifts in technology, from breakthroughs in generativeAI to emerging solutions in climate tech and healthcare.
by Madrona Interesting stat: about 10% of Y Combinator companies achieves an exit – by Lenny Rachitsky Bonus: opening moves in global AI – report by Dealroom.co MEDIA OF THE WEEK The capital amount of M&As in the range of $100-$500m and $500-$1000m in Israel increased sharply, setting a decade record.
Until now, the majority of the value in generativeAI has been captured by the infrastructure layer: foundational models (LLMs), the cloud providers and the hardware infrastructure/ data centres. However now, the AI landscape is undergoing a significant shift, prompting a crucial question: Where will the future value of AI accrue?
The truth will take time to percolate, Deepseek claimed they used only 5,000 GPUs- and old ones at that and the real number is estimated at 50,000 (it’s being investigated if the chips were acquired in Singapore, side-stepping the export ban to China). It decouples visual encoding for multimodal understanding and generation.
Ron DeSantis have already used fake AI images of each other and we are still 16 months out from the vote. This is an election where the capabilities of GenerativeAI will quite simply have a massive influence. This week Sir Bob Geldof interviewed me about AI. Donald Trump and Gov.
The biggest winners from the Wiz acquisition… (based on publicly available data) Young Israelis under 30 ranked 2nd happiest in the recent World happiness report created by the UN ( source ) The AI race is on between China and the US, but a quick look at Robotics clearly shows that China has an edge (for now) McKinsey & Company surveyed enterprise (..)
