In Brief Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky has had enough of merely being an artificial intelligence kingmaker.
He now plans to back a new AI lab of his own.
The news, broken by Bloomberg and confirmed to TechCrunch by a person familiar with the situation, marks Chesky as one of many Silicon Valley machers who are unsatisfied with the models coming out of the frontier labs.
While Airbnb has adopted AI coding tools, Chesky said last year it hasnât struck an LLM partnership because existing products werenât quite ready.
