Specialized Models for Every Company: Nitzky Agrees, Cites Need for Specific Data

Osvald Nitzky agrees with the notion that specialized models for each company will be the future, as it aligns with McCord's strategy of providing enterprise-specific evaluation and training data. He believes the market diversity for this depends on the demonstrable value customers receive from these specialized models.

Because it could be better depends entirely on the company. One company wants to focus on growth, one company wants to focus on margin, another wants to focus on, I don't know, if we're in Europe, by work life balance.

I buy it. I think it's also self-serving towards McCord in that we think that every specialized model will need enterprise specific eval and training data to show the model how to perform in its setting.
Osvald Nitzky
And I think the diversity and the market for this depends on the value that customers can get from these specialized models.
