Fina Money uses LLM to power up its answer to users' financial questions. Initially using OpenAI's API. Observed the slow response on GPT-4 model, it makes me think, are there any alternatives that we may consider to balance the workload?
However, not all LLM models have the same quality to achieve the accuracy we want, this makes me test out a list of models available, and have a sense about...

Is it too long for 1 year to relaunch?
We launched Fina 1 year ago (5/26/2023), wow, it took us an entire year to lift the product to its next level that we think we want to launch on PH again (5/22/2024).
Is this too long for a startup? I heard people told me that this is not startup speed! :) How often to relaunch is a startup speed?
To warm up the new launch, I wrote a short article to introduce what Fina looks like now:...

If we think they both have credit scores, currently:
Wikipedia=100
AI=50
As time passes, the AI credit score is probably going up, how far it can go will determine Wikipedia's fate.
Does AI mean the end of Wikipedia?

Founders: when do you think you have to raise funds instead of continuing bootstrapping?
I look forward to learning many different reasons, and hopefully, we can make some consensus at last.

I think this is good question - interested to learn what other folks think.

Shameless plug the little thing I built and used daily - use ChatGPT to find public data to visualize automatically for sharing.
I also use ChatGPT to copy unstructured data into structured one before visualization if I can copy some data somewhere such as a tweet.

If I have one superpower, I will use it to reveal the puzzle of why "existences" exist - from human being to the universe, :)
If you could choose one superpower, what would it be and how would you use it?

All people love AI these days, so what Columns build with AI?
