Stanford MS&E435 Economics of the AI Supercycle | Spring 2026 | Enterprise Internal Knowledge
Yash Bottel, founder and CEO of Applied Compute and an OpenAI alum, described his rapid path from Stanford to OpenAI research and then to founding a startup that helps enterprises build specialized AI models. Drawing on work in post-training, evals, and agentic coding (e.g., CodeEx and Long Horizon Tasks), he argued that frontier reasoning models are powerful but lack domain-specific business knowledge. Applied Compute’s approach is to combine these frontier techniques with proprietary enterprise data to create tailored models that improve real-world workflows. The talk also placed recent AI advances in historical context—highlighting how scale in compute and data since AlexNet has driven dramatic gains in capabilities.
