It’s much easier and cheaper for the average person today to build a product on top of an existing LLM than to train their own model. Most “AI companies” are doing that.
- ldng 1y agoYou are conflating Neural Model with Large Langage Model There are a lot more models than just LLM. Small specialized model are not necessarily costly to build and can be as (if not more) efficient and cheaper; both in term of training and inference.
- hobs 1y agoYes, but most of those "AI Companies" are actually "AI Slop" companies and have little to no Machine Learning experience of any kind.
- mathgeek 1y agoI’m not implying what you inferred. I am only referring to LLMs in response to GP. Another way to put it is most people building AI products are just using the existing LLMs instead of creating new models. It’s a gold rush akin to early mobile apps.
