I’m a data scientist working in consulting (EU) and I would like to push my company to delve more into open-source LLMs over closed ones (OpenAI…).
I’m constantly amazed by the progress shown by open-sourced LLMs in this sub. The increasing efficiency of models coupled with the expanding open-source LLM ecosystem make these models more and more competitive.
I keep thinking that there’s a market for custom LLMs, notably for private-sensitive companies like banks and insurances.
Any insights?
Not only is there a market, I’d say a substantial portion of data departments across the economy will dedicate significant resource to this. Once generic models become common place, specialized ones will be where you edge out the competition
