“It is an interesting time when we are facing major disruptive events. The core theme is to move quickly. We know the market is going to turn, it always does. It’s just a matter of rebase-lining and figuring out the pathways of the future.
Networks like Toptal are helping businesses adapt to these shifts in the most nimble and agile fashion so that they can focus on the solutions that they have established for themselves.

Leveraging the expertise: How businesses and remote workers thrive in disruptive tech
The evolution of generative AI and large language models has revolutionised the way we interact with technology and process information. These technologies have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in natural language understanding, content generation, and data analysis.
“If we talk about the experience in large language models and Generative AI, it didn’t exist earlier in the way that it exists today. The models that we use now: all stem from the research that’s decade’s old”, says Michael.
The pioneers in this space have been instrumental in developing and refining these models, pushing the boundaries of what is possible. “We’ve had people working in this space for a long time. We just happen to hit that one disruptive moment in time when it comes to Generative AI.
We know that there are so many professionals around the world who have been working in the prompt space for a long time. Those people are already getting leveraged through the Toptal platform”, he adds.
Experience is going to be a part of the overall exploration process
Experience is a vital component in leveraging the true potential of generative AI and large language models. As these technologies continue to evolve, it is the collective knowledge, expertise, and dedication of experienced practitioners that drive their success.
“There is going to be a huge focus on those experts who understand this disruptive technology. But we also need to recognise that experience is going to be organic as we start learning how to use it.”
As thought leaders and innovators, these individuals and businesses possess a wealth of knowledge and insights into the inner workings of generative AI and large language models. They understand the nuances, limitations, and potential applications of these technologies, making them valuable resources for those seeking to leverage their capabilities. Their expertise can guide others in navigating the complexities and challenges associated with adopting and implementing generative AI and large language models.
As organisations start embracing the tech revolution, there is a common understanding that experience is not a static attribute. It is a dynamic quality that develops over time.
“The companies which recognize that experience is going to be a part of an overall exploration and will develop over time, will be the most successful. These companies look for the key backgrounds of people who are going to be best able to gain that experience. So, they can accelerate beyond others and advance on their journey to make an impact.
Networks like Toptal are helping businesses adapt to these shifts in the most nimble and agile fashion so that they can focus on the solutions they were established for.”
