LastMile AI has raised $10M from investors including Gradient, AME, Exceptional Capital, and Firsthand Alliance. In this episode, we discuss LastMile's approach to simplifying AI for developers and why they decided to build an end-to-end solution, LastMile's open periphery approach to open source, where we are on the experimentation-to-commercialization curve with GenAI, why Azure is the top cloud provider when it comes to AI support & more!
