What Singapore JS devs should know about AI
summary
Argues that AI is shifting right so JavaScript developers can become AI engineers without PhDs by wiring foundation-model APIs into products, not training from scratch; cites a claim of three to four orders of magnitude more product AI roles than ML researchers and warns of a GPU hoard. Covers concrete tools and steps: OpenAI API streaming, token management, LangChain/LlamaIndex and vector DBs, code generation, image/audio models, hosting/fine‑tuning on GPUs, and building agents.
