In this exclusive interview, we speak with Shashank Yadav, founder and CEO of Fraction AI, a platform that allows users to train and own their own artificial intelligence models. With experience in artificial intelligence and a background working on machine learning teams at major companies like Goldman Sachs and Microsoft, Shashank shares his journey, the challenges of scaling AI, and how his company is solving one of the industry's main problems: obtaining reliable, high-quality data.
The central problem Shashank identified is the centralization of AI. A few companies control the most advanced models, leaving others with standardized versions that do not address specific needs. Fraction AI aims to change this paradigm by allowing users to create and optimize their own models through collaborative competition, where the best results are rewarded and used to continuously improve AI systems.
One of the key points he highlights is that the biggest obstacle to progress in AI is not the limitation of computing or programming, but the scarcity of reliable and fresh data. Many companies continue to refine models with existing information, but true improvement occurs when models generate and process new data in real-world situations.
Regarding AI scaling, Shashank highlights a common mistake in the industry: assuming that expanding computing capacity automatically improves models. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of systems that evolve continuously through learning from new experiences and competencies.
Shashank's transition from large technology companies to founding his own company was not without challenges. Beyond technical expertise, starting a startup requires strategic thinking about product, users, and funding. Learning from other entrepreneurs and receiving mentorship from key figures in the industry was crucial to his success.
