It’s not too late to apply to Stanford or Yale, and AI can help! Two Stanford students used hundreds of essays - both good and bad - to train an AI model on what top colleges look for in admissions essays.
What are on FIRE 🔥
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH INNOVATING WITH AI
The AI consulting market is about to grow by a factor of 8X – from $6.9 billion today to $54.7 billion in 2032. But how does an AI enthusiast become an AI consultant? How well you answer that question makes the difference between just “having AI ideas” and being handsomely compensated for your contribution to an organization’s AI transformation.
Thankfully, you don’t have to go it alone – our friends at Innovating with AI just welcomed 200 new students into The AI Consultancy Project, their new program that trains you to build a business as an AI consultant. Some of the highlights current students are excited about:
The tools and frameworks to find clients and deliver top-notch services
A 6-month plan to build a 6-figure AI consulting business
Students getting their first AI client in as little as 3 days
And as an AI Fire reader, you have a chance to get early access to the next enrollment cycle.

AI CHART

Gartner says Generative AI is past its peak hype, which is great news. The marketers and crypto crowd will soon move on to the next trend, making way for real innovation!
Get ready, because the future of AI is looking bright! According to Gartner’s latest Hype Cycle, Generative AI has officially "jumped the shark."
What does that mean? Well, "jumping the shark" is a phrase used to describe when a TV show or media starts losing its quality due to silly gimmicks.
Now, according to Gartner, Generative AI has passed its "peak hype" and is heading into the "trough of disillusionment." Basically, this is the time when those without solid solutions start to fade away.
The marketers and opportunists, especially in the crypto space, will move on to the next hot thing, leaving room for more meaningful progress in Generative AI. The overhyped, low-quality AI tools will die off, and the real, game-changing innovations will start to emerge.
The fun part? We’re just getting started.
