I’m not sure that’s true given hardware as a limiting factor. Small teams have always been able to move faster in building things, they have fewer requirements and less to lose. But small teams can’t buy expensive hardware up front, and modern AI is hardware constrained for many purposes. These companies will either end up renting hardware from cloud providers, or using AI APIs from cloud providers.
