## AI 摘要

Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas 表示，在软件领域你总会为最好的前沿模型付费。他用招聘类比：同样一百万美元预算，是雇五个年薪 20 万美元的中等工程师，还是花一百万只雇一个 Jeff Dean 级别的人。该言论出自 20VC with Harry Stebbings 播客。

## 正文

Perplexity’s CEO Aravind Srinivas: In software you would always pay for the very best frontier model.

"It's kind of like, if you know some engineer is awesome, if you know you have, like, the next Jeff Dean, would you rather hire that person and not hire five people who are medium engineers, but not Jeff Dean-level, with the same amount of budget you have?

Let's say you had a million dollars. You could hire five people worth $200K, or you could hire one Jeff and pay them a million. What would you do?"
