As an MLE I get a decent amount of LinkedIn messages. I think I got on someone’s list or something. I would bucket the companies into two groups:
1) Established companies (meta/google/uber) with lots of data and who want MLEs to make 0.1% improvements because each of those is worth millions.
2) Startups mostly proxying OpenAI calls.
The first group is definitely not hype. Their core business relies on ML and they don’t need hype for that to be true.
For the second group, it depends on the business model. The fact that you can make an API call doesn’t mean anything. What matters is solving a customer problem.
I also (selfishly) believe a lot of the second group will hire folks to train faster and more personalized models once their business models are proven.
