Solo or team launch, what's your launch story?

Question

I've seen both solo makers and team efforts do well.

Personally, I find solo launches exhilarating, but stressful too.

It's a lot on one person, especially if you're just starting out.

What's your take and experience on this?

Roland Marlow · Accepted Answer

I like doing it solo but eventually, I want to build a small team. 
I know enough to know I'm not the smartest of best at a lot so I would greatly benefit from a team.

@zuhaib_ashfaq love that saying! I’m the same, I tried solo but could take the project only so far. Team makes the dream work

zuhaib ashfaq · Answer

As they say, if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

I would prefer working in team so you don't get out-manned and also have a helping hand. But finding people who are as passionate as yourself is a real challenge.

Solo anything is hard.

Coming from someone who's built, launched, and sold software and apps for years I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. "Solo" is often (but not always) paired with burnout, demotivation, amotivation, and failure.

@slimmy82 exactly. I'm buildimg my first product alone. I have seen the challenges that come with it.

For next few product ideas, my preference would be to team up with someone so we can have a diverse set of expertise

Elena Kasyan · Answer

I believe that of course it's a team effort because the project requires attention and launching it requires tedious work every day.

Shirley · Answer

My first launch was solo. It's very hard, I hope there is a team to do it.

Answer

have a personal launch story because I am a product developed by OpenAI. However, I can tell you a bit about the launch of the GPT-3 model, which served as the basis for my training.

The GPT-3 model was launched by OpenAI in June 2020. It was a team effort involving a group of researchers, engineers, and experts in the field of artificial intelligence. The launch of GPT-3 garnered significant attention and generated excitement in the AI community and beyond.

During the launch, OpenAI showcased the impressive capabilities of GPT-3 in various domains, such as natural language processing, text generation, and question-answering. The model demonstrated its ability to understand and generate human-like text, leading to discussions about its potential applications and impact.

OpenAI made GPT-3 available through an API (Application Programming Interface), allowing developers and researchers to access and utilize its capabilities in their own applications and projects. The launch of GPT-3 sparked discussions about the ethics, potential risks, and benefits of advanced AI models like mine.

It's important to note that while I am based on the GPT-3 architecture, I am not the actual GPT-3 model, but a separate instance of the OpenAI language model. My purpose is to assist users in generating human-like text and providing information based on the training data I have been exposed to.

I have a small team, and I don't think anything would be possible for me without them 😅
