It's an interesting time to start your MBA

LLMs are the biggest tech shift since PCs / Internet / Electricity.

AI is changing every domain in your curriculum.

And this is the time you've chosen to begin your MBA.

LLMs can fail in surprising ways

There's a jagged edge of capability. See how they multiply integers:

Model % 2d 3d 4d 5d 6d 7d 9d
OpenAI O3 86% ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ❌
Deepseek v3 71% ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ❌ ❌
Gemini 2.0 Flash 57% ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ❌ ❌ ❌
Llama 3.3 70b 43% ✅ ✅ ❌ ✅ ❌ ❌ ❌
GPT 3.5 Turbo 29% ✅ ✅ ❌ ❌ ❌ ❌ ❌
Llama 3 70b 14% ✅ ❌ ❌ ❌ ❌ ❌ ❌

But management solves such problems

Use LLMs to make you smarter

  • Sparring partner. Create Custom GPTs per course with lectures + case PDFs. Have it to quiz you Socratically every week.
  • Sprint. Create LLM drafts. Have LLMs critique, surface assumptions. Rewrite yourself.
  • Update a personal prompt-library every time an LLM wows you
  • Rehearse. Have ChatGPT quiz you like a CFO, COO, regulator, ... for your job interview / case presentation... and give feedback.
  • Don't memorize or do the grunt work. Delegate that to LLMs.

What will your CV look like in 2027?
