Inflection AI, once known for its next-generation AI models, has shifted its focus and is no longer competing in that space.
After Microsoft hired Inflection's former CEO and acquired the startup, Inflection has pivoted toward serving enterprise customers and acquiring AI startups.
Inflection's new CEO, Sean White, emphasizes that they are no longer trying to make the next generation of AI models but are still competing in the enterprise market.
Inflection believes that current AI models are sufficient for enterprise needs and questions the value of test-time compute scaling as the next generation of AI models.
