Really surprising that these new startups like Kairos are doing as good a job as the big guys like Msft/AWS.
Whatever happened to the theory behind data network effects, why do the big tech companies are not having an unfair advantage w.r.t ML APIs?
Hypothesis Disclaimer:
Most of the customer of these APIs would be corporations who need a little bit of hand-holding, So they might be looking for dedicated customer support. Kairos would be able to give big corps a run in that manner. If they get more customers, then more data, better results.
still doesn't answer how is Kairos (or others like it) are even building ML APIs which to ppl like me seems to be an exclusive domain for the big 4 (wondering can I practically compete with the big4 on data-based services, when there is no notion of stickiness etc).
