We asked Naeem Talukdar (Co-Founder & CEO @moonvalley) about balancing foundational models and application layers:

"Foundational companies are having to think more about the application layer."

"There is an element of commoditization that is happening. There is a point where the output of the model hits the point of diminishing returns from the consumer perspective."

"Research labs and tech companies have been largely divorced from the end practitioner."

"For LLMs that are such general technology I think that makes sense."

"For us, understanding filmmakers and creators guides the research, not the other way around."
