Hypermode Launch: Kevin Van Gundy
Aug 23, 2024 · 5:03
Kevin Van Gundy, founder of Hypermode, argues that iteration velocity is the compound interest of software and key to succeeding with AI, and presents Hypermode as a runtime that makes AI approachable by integrating models and data into AI functions with minimal friction. Drawing from his experience at Vercel, he explains how rapid iteration helped them win against competitors, and applies the same philosophy to AI development. Hypermode removes common pain points: it offers one-request RAG with in-memory embedding and search, model comparison and fine-tuning export, and strong defaults that work with existing stacks. The platform de-risks getting it wrong by making model switching and prompt changes frictionless. Kevin invites listeners to a workshop to build a demo and offers $1000 in Hypermode credits to get started.
