This work aligns with a broader strategic shift in the AI industry: market consolidation among AI access providers is driving clients toward proprietary models. The "Train or Die!" trend reflects a stark reality - as major players increasingly control access to AI interfaces, developing and understanding custom models becomes crucial for businesses looking to build competitive, AI-driven applications.
