Double down on this. šÆ Take OCR and document parsing for instance. Running a giant monster model is pure overkill. 1/ Data > Model Size: A lightweight, fine-tuned VLM (or custom parsing model) fed with high-quality document data easily beats frontier giant LLMs in pixel-perfect structural extraction. 2/ The ROI Problem: Invoices, financial reports, and endless PDFs need high throughput. Good luck processing them at scale with hyper-expensive API bills or massive GPU clusters. 3/ Local & Edge: Edge deployment (even via llamacpp/ONNX) with zero data leak risks is what enterprises actually need.
