Bain is throwing around some pretty big numbers in this report about the growth of the AI services industry, but the report is wel crafted.

‘Companies are past the pilot phase and are starting to scale up generative AI," says David Crawford, who was at the helm of the report.

AI’s Trillion-Dollar Opportunity The market for AI products and services could reach between $780 billion and $990 billion by 2027.

Consumer adoption of AI is moving fast 🚀in the Netherlands and is moving much faster than the adoption of LLM based AI Assistants and chatbots by most companies.

This number is much higher amongst younger age groups, with this number going up to almost 50% amongst people between 18-24 in the Netherlands.

Nearly a quarter of Dutch population use AI programs such as ChatGPT In 2024, a total of 23 percent of people in the Netherlands aged 12 years and above have created texts, videos or images using artificial intelligence (AI) programs such as ChatCPT.

Groq is a interesting new addition to the ever expanding universe of LLM solutions. What is a bit confusing, is that Elon Musk's AI is called 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐊 while this service is called 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐐, but they are two different solutions.

The platform is based on Meta's Llama model. In terms of performance it is more or less comparable to ChatGPT 4, but free of charge for (for now), so it definitely puts some pressure on the ChatGPT Plus subscriptions that OpenAI offers customers.

It is incredibly fast, almost as fast as Claude 3 of Anthropic.

A day after the news of Amazon putting billions into Anthropic, OpenAI is trying to secure some new funding themselves.
