.@marcff, CEO of @Chalk, on why the cost of AI models haven’t dropped more. “Even as chips get more powerful, workloads are scaling even faster. So that means more parameters, larger context windows, larger models. And so they're kind of outpacing.” "Costs don't fall just because models improve. Costs fall when you get more efficient at what you're doing and when you learn how to use infra[structure] in the right way." Watch the full episode on bit.ly/4mN9I7c
@chalk redefines Speed: Real-Time Data in Under 100ms ⚡📊 .@Alex talks with Chalk's @marcff about why “speed is a feature” for every app, not just Google. • Traditional flow: pre-process → batch jobs → feature store cache → app. Fast, but stale. • Chalk: pull data directly from the source at inference time — super fresh, with real-time computation in 100ms or less. • Nearly every pilot converts to a customer — it changes how teams think about app architecture. • Chalk is hiring engineers + sales roles in SF & NYC.
