.@InvTechInc We are Spartans!!
Excellent metaphor from our founder @francispedraza
.@francispedraza (Founder, Invisible Technologies) thinks about competition like the Battle of Thermopylae.
“Accenture may have a million people worldwide. But when the passage is narrow, headcount doesn’t matter. What matters is who holds the line. If our 300 Spartans are at the gate with superior tech, we win every time.”

A monopoly on innovation doesn't exist. In fact, those who find ways to creatively innovate alongside customers and partners tend to benefit even more so than going it alone. It's a perfect manifestation of the saying, "rising tides raise all ships." via.vmw.com/TGlHuZ

Training AI models from scratch is time-intensive, expensive, requires a ton of compute power & uses a ton of energy. Fine-tuning models tailored to specific use cases is an attractive alternative. @RaghuRaghuram shared his thoughts with @bellelin_ of @WSJ via.vmw.com/Cktc66
