Know Your AI: 8 Model Types Powering Innovation in 2025

When people talk about AI in 2025, one name dominates: ChatGPT. It’s become shorthand for the entire field, from boardrooms to coffee shops.

But the truth is, that shorthand has become misleading. Treating every form of AI as if it were a chatbot is more than a semantic slip — it’s a costly mistake.

Businesses are already feeling the sting. Leaders invest in language models expecting them to analyze images, only to learn they weren’t built for that.

Teams adopt creative generative models hoping for forecasting, and end up with slick digital art instead of supply chain insight. The price of this confusion isn’t just measured in software bills. It’s lost time, wasted trust, and strategic momentum that’s hard to recover.

The question isn’t whether you’re “using AI.” The real question is: do you know what kind you’re using — and why?

🚨 And now for Chip Kennedy’s #1 Tip for entrepreneurs…

Don’t build alone.

Entrepreneurship isn’t a solo sport. The myth of the lone genius in a garage is just that—a myth.

The best ideas don’t just scale faster with people around you—they actually become better.

🚨 Chip Kennedy’s Top 3 Tips Countdown continues…

Tip 2 — Don’t let tech hold you back.

You don’t need to be the “tech person” to build something big. Surround yourself with people who can design, code, and bring the idea to life.
The right team makes impossible ideas possible.
