Clay Bavor commented on the low percentage of enterprise tasks currently automated by AI, suggesting it's a multi-faceted issue. He believes the problem lies not only in model capabilities but also in the diffusion of the technology within companies and gaps in the application layer, acknowledging that as open-weight models improve, the potential for automating more tasks grows.
“Well, I think if you look at what percentage of enterprise tasks are automated today, it's around an error. It's very low.”
“So is that a model gap? Is that a diffusion of the technology into the company? Is that an application layer gap? I think it's probably all of these.”
“You're obviously correct that as the open weights models become more capable, that the set of things they can do grows larger, but actually, like what for the majority, you know, AI that works with you, not on top of you.”
