I’ve heard confusion on why there are so many foundation models and this is the key point. We will need differentiated options across cost, latency, task, reliability, open source, and domain sensitivity. Eventually, model chaining is the norm.
Asking “what’s the best model?” is like asking “what’s the best code base?”, there’s no good generic answer, it depends highly on your use case, constraints, and current tech stack! Ultimately the best one will be the one you can train, optimize, control and customize the fastest
