Everyday AI Podcast – An AI and ChatGPT Podcast

Until a few months ago, open source AI was kinda a hobby project. 

Now, it's tearing corporate boardrooms apart. 

Why? 

Over the past 6ish months, the gap between frontier closed AI and open sourced AI has shrunk to pretty much nothing. And with the surge of always on agents driving open models, their development and release schedule is on pace with the frontier labs. 

So if your team isn't paying attention to -- and running test cases through -- open AI models, there's a good chance you'll either be overpaying or playing catch up soon. 

We walk you through the 101 and what you need to know when it comes to open source AI in this Start Here Series special.

What good is AI if you can't trust it? 

Everyone's racing to do more, build more, ship more agents. But if you're scanning an AI output and say it looks good enough, that isn't actually good enough. 

Especially when it comes to your company's finances. 

If you're a CFO, a finance leader, or running an SMB where one wrong number sends everything sideways, having trust in your AI is paramount.

On today's show, we're getting into why the model alone won't save you, where finance pros should actually be spending their time now, and why most companies are thinking about AI risk backwards. 

Helping us break it down is Jeremiah Edwards, Head of Sage AI, from Sage Future last week.
