TLDR

A post quoting Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas from “20VC with Harry Stebbings” presents his argument for always paying for the best frontier AI model in software. His analogy is a $1 million hiring decision: would you hire one engineer at Jeff Dean’s level for the full amount, or five “medium engineers” at $200,000 each?

Rohan Paul@rohanpaul_aiPerplexity’s CEO Aravind Srinivas: In software you would always pay for the very best frontier model. "It's kind of like, if you know some engineer is awesome, if you know you have, like, the next Jeff Dean, would you rather hire that person and not hire five people who are medium engineers, but not Jeff Dean-level, with the same amount of budget you have? Let's say you had a million dollars. You could hire five people worth $200K, or you could hire one Jeff and pay them a million. What would you do?" ---- From "20VC with Harry Stebbings" YouTube channel ( @HarryStebbings ), link in comment21d
