Hey—this is Brian from Labelbox. Thanks for the mention.

Martin and Matt are incredibly sharp on the trends in AI and have inspired our work at Labelbox immensely. I particularly like the discussion on getting the operations right for building and iterating with ML. Like software development, iterating quickly is key to building a performant model on real world data. The average iteration time for ML is 2-4 weeks in the industry right now. Comparing this to software development averages is stark. Getting the development and operations of ML right can greatly speed up iteration and improve the likelihood of getting to market with performant ML systems.
