As an AI expert, new consumer expert, and a global keynote speaker, Matt Britton is a name that needs no introduction. With his
high-energy storytelling approach, he has empowered a multitude of businesses, delineating the impacts of technology advancements on society, culture, and business. This blog post delves into Matt's profound insights on two distinct but vital developments in the AI world: OpenAI's o1-Pro and xAI's Image Generation API, and how these evolving technologies influence the business landscape.
OpenAI's entrance into the premium AI market with its new high-end AI model, o1-Pro, is worth noting. This model challenges the norms of computational prowess, promising improved responses than its predecessor o1 due to its enhanced computational capability. Yet, this powerful model comes with a substantial price tag – $150 per million input tokens and $600 per million output tokens. Given that it costs twice as much as GPT-4.5 and 10 times more than o1, the question arises: Does the heightened cost lead to a proportionate increase in value for businesses?
Through Matt's seasoned experience in the AI industry and advising more than half of the Fortune 500, he explains that even though o1-Pro doesn't offer significant new features, it represents an enormous leap in AI computing power for improved reasoning. However, early tests have revealed some limitations – tasks like Sudoku and optical illusions didn't perform as expected, and only minor advancements were seen in math and coding tasks. Consequently, corporate entities must weigh the benefits versus the cost before embracing such AI
advancements.
The other crucial aspect Matt discusses is the development in visual content generation – xAI's Image Generation API. Spearheaded by Elon Musk, xAI introduced this API with the “grok-2-image-1212” model, enabling developers to generate up to 10 images per request in JPG format at a cost of $0.07 per image. While it may seem more expensive than some competitors, xAI's rapid expansion in the AI sphere, backed by robust fundraising and acquisitions, hints at the potential of this technology outweighing the cost.
Moreover, Matt underlines that xAI's Image Generation API, even though in its nascent stage with restricted customization, points towards future advancements in video generation and deeper integration into various platforms, which could tremendously uplift businesses' visual content capabilities.
In his dynamic keynote presentations delivered at workshops, offsites, and conferences, Matt dissects these complex technological
advancements, imparting invaluable insights to corporate audiences. Drawing from his entrepreneurial background as the CEO of Suzy, a market research software platform that has raised over $100 Million, Matt beautifully interweaves the impacts of technologies like o1-Pro and Image Generation API on businesses, society, and culture, making it digestible and enlightening for all attendees.
Whether it is OpenAI's pursuit to enhance AI reasoning or xAI's endeavor to reign in the visual content generation domain, these initiatives are propelling AI technologies to new heights. However, these advancements do come at a high cost, pushing businesses back to the drawing board to reckon whether such hefty investments validate the potential benefits.
