"'The speed of SEC rule-making has created difficulties for firms. The IAA said the SEC should take a step back from that proposal and work with the industry.
“The pace of the rule-making and the complexity of the proposals and how they may interact with each other puts a large burden on the compliance department to be able to practice in a way that is coherent,” Ropes & Gray’s Longo said.'

LlamaIndex, HuggingFace, LangChain, and Ludwig are functioning as partial proxy aggregators of what is working and working better than alternatives. Most people in this space have multiple models for virtually every step in their heads. You cannot and should not process them. Thus you need aggregation and filtration on some objective(s) and presumptions with a purpose or you're a boat on a turbulent sea.
One simple tool I use to evaluate is how easy is it to spin up a working demo, in isolation or context of other tools, to show the maturity of thought on the idea moving to application. If there is no benchmark on output(s) before you start that is more science/fantasizing than business. but maybe that's your goal, just don't delude yourself in what you're doing. I also look up project leads on Linkedin and such since these things require push and without a good promoter, usually don't pan out(see crypto for example).
Buried lead: I've built a few tools allowing me to parse the tree and graph structures of new projects in charts/schemas to get quick visuals for myself and the LLMs I use to code. Additionally, I have built tooling to test rapidly. For if everything is dynamic, optimizing measurement is quite valuable in and of itself.
I am not referencing republishing the output results. That is a seperate act entirely. There are countless examples, particularly in regulated usecases, where threads are audited. Thus, who is liable for the output of the LLM in those threads?
I don't understand how a user will be liable when they are receiving non-deterministic outputs and have no objective way to know or control what they receive.

Downsides:
Your Uber/AirBnB/Wework all have physical base units with ascending costs due to inflation and theoretical economies of scale.
AI models have some GPU constraints but could easily reach a state where the cost to opperate falls and becomes relatively trivial with almost no lowerbound, for most use cases.
You are correct there is a race for marketshare. The crux in this case will be keeping it. Easy come, easy go. Models often make the worst business model.
This will unlock a ton of Enterprise use cases. I have met with a number of enterprises that have a hard no on sending much of their data into OpenAI, even on Azure. I think this will persist as the brand faces many hurdles with respect for IP, in public perception.
Postgres and Mongo support it. ElasticSearch incorporates vector search. I have failed to identify an objective difference(beyond marketing nomeclature) between any pure play vector solution after exaustive research.
