Deep dives

The Role of Large Language Models

Large language models are described as being an inch deep and a mile wide, meaning they have broad knowledge but lack depth. Media organizations, on the other hand, have a narrower but deeper understanding of their content and its cultural significance. The IP and content assets owned by media organizations give them a unique advantage in leveraging AI and data to drive value. While large language models have their uses, the real value comes from fine-tuning and enhancing them with the media organization's own content assets, which contain nuanced language and cultural context.
