The AI landscape is evolving rapidly, with new models emerging every week. To help founders navigate this landscape and build upon existing foundational models, TechCrunch Sessions: AI will host a panel discussion on June 5 at UC Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall. This panel, titled “How Founders Can Build on Existing Foundational Models,” aims to address key questions facing AI startups.

We are excited to have leaders from Google DeepMind, Cohere, and Twelve Labs join us for this discussion. These companies are at the forefront of AI model development, and their insights will provide valuable guidance for startup founders looking to build upon existing models.

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from AI model developers about their current projects, the future of AI model development, and where startup founders should focus their efforts. This panel is ideal for those looking to grow alongside AI model developers and stay ahead of the curve.
