Here’s a link to a good 10000 foot overview of AI, courtesy of IBM:
The goal of my Artificial Intelligence “work,” such as it is, will be around discerning what AI related tools are out there, what works for *me* and what might work for *you* (whoever might read this page). As a seasoned IT executive I want AI tools that will help me be productive, build my skills, and not destroy the planet through some dystopian SkyNet. I don’t want my AI tools to do my work for me, I want my AI tools to help me do my work.
Less effort will be spent on image and video related AI features and programs.
What is out there and of interest to me – let’s begin with major players / frontier models:
Google – Gemini
OpenAI – ChatGPT
Microsoft – CoPilot (uses ChatGPT)
Anthropic – Claude
X (Twitter) – Grok
Mistral
Perplexity
Open Source:
Meta – Llama
Kimi
Qwen
Deepseek
Tech to track:
