Podcast Lesson
"Scale AI horizontally, not just vertically The entire AI industry has been chasing one axis of progress — building bigger, smarter individual models through more data and compute. Pande argues this is only half the picture: 'we haven't really tapped into the second axis, which is the horizontal axis — can we scale intelligence horizontally?' He frames this as collective intelligence, where 'the collective is always greater than the individual.' Anyone building AI strategy should explicitly ask whether they are only investing in better single models, or also investing in the infrastructure that lets multiple specialized agents collaborate.
