The AI layered tech stack

David Sachs outlined how he thinks about the bigger picture of the AI tech stack on the most recent All-In Podcast (48:43). I think it's a very useful mental model so I have reproduced it here so I have something to link to from other articles I write.

  1. Chips, silicone, Nvidia
  2. Foundation models, open AI, open source models etc
  3. Infrastructure, developer tools, vector databases
  4. Applications

Talking about layers is pretty popular at the minute.
