Enterprises think differently. They want data provenance, privacy, ability to mitigate/transfer risk etc. If IBM is willing to offer that, there will be enterprises that bite.
- _lvbh 2y agoLlama and Mistral are already local & fulfill these requirements
- rolisz 2y agoYes, but nobody got fired for buying IBM
- antod 2y agoYeah if something you install doesn't work, you get the blame. If IBM supplies something that doesn't work (likely), you get to blame them instead.
- szszrk 2y agoBetween "works" and "doesn't work" there is a full rainbow of possible answers, KPIs, yearly reviews in a network of matrix reporting. There will be market for their services. Maybe a different one, but there will be.
- morgante 2y agoThat's a pretty outdated phrase, even in enterprise.
- kubami 2y agoBy no means it is an outdated phrase. Ask any startup sales person!
- morgante 2y agoI personally know a VP who was fired for buying "IBM Cloud." You can absolutely get flak for choosing IBM these days, even at a stodgy enterprise. The gist is still current, but you need to fill in AWS as the current uncontroversial choice.
- dubcanada 2y agoMust be a very terrible company to work for if they are firing people solely on them picking X over Y.
- jazzyjackson 2y agobut who can you pay to run these models and fulfill these requirements /for you/ ;)
- worthless-trash 2y agoI could be wrong, but I think thats what the RHEL AI, topic was all about 24 hours ago ?
- abdullin 2y agoIBM goes at great lengths to train models on clean data that has lower risk of copyright or legal issues attached. Just take a look at the model description. That data issue is important enough for some companies to pick mediocre model over llama or mistral.
- doctorpangloss 2y agoWhat if I told you that a lot of freely licensed code on GitHub is not clean? That the authors may have read something and rewritten it in a way that wasn’t transformative? So it basically has the same problems.
- bayindirh 2y agoWhat if I told you the supposedly clean "The Stack" dataset contains at least one GPL repository inside, just because their license detection tool bugged out? IBM and other big players are vigilant about these things, and this is what companies pay for. Their software may not be better in some metrics, but they're cleaner in some and their support contracts allows people to sleep tight at night. This is what money buys. Peace of mind and continuity.
- maccard 2y ago> IBM and other big players are vigilant about these things, and this is what companies pay for. And more importantly, IBM will guarantee it in the case that they're wrong. _That's_ what companies pay for.
- keefle 2y agoCan I sue Lamma and Mistral if things go wrong?
- insane_dreamer 2y ago“Nobody was ever fired for hiring IBM”
