The rise of transformer seamless APIs and assistants
We are now well into the industrialization era of AI. Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and IBM, among others, provide AI services that no developer or team of developers could hope to outperform. Tech giants have million-dollar supercomputers with massive datasets to train transformer models and AI models in general.
Big tech giants have many corporate customers that already use their cloud services. As a result, adding a transformer API to an existing cloud architecture requires less effort than any other solution.
A small company or even an individual can access the most powerful transformer models through an API with practically no investment in development. An intern can implement the API in a few days. There is no need to be an engineer or have a Ph.D. for such a simple implementation.
For example, the OpenAI platform now has a Software as a Service (SaaS) API for some of the most effective...
