ChatGPT and Beyond with Fexingo: Large Language Models, Generative AI, and Productivity Tools
Each weekday, Lucas and Luna examine the fast-changing world of large language models, generative AI, and productivity tools for knowledge workers. They avoid hype and product-launch coverage, focusing instead on measurable adoption rates, enterprise deployment patterns, and the economic trade-offs between proprietary and open-weight models. Lucas covers the macro picture, including regulatory signals, capital flows into foundation-model startups, and the talent-market squeeze for ML engineers. Luna adds a practitioner's view on integration costs, latency budgets, and uneven model performance across languages and domains. Aimed at product managers, strategy leads, and investors, the show dissects a named open-source release or corporate AI strategy each episode to separate signal from noise.
