Foundation Models

Foundation models refer to large, pre-trained AI models that serve as the basis for a wide range of downstream tasks. Some generate text. Others can classify images. These models train on vast amounts of diverse data, and data scientists can fine-tune them to specific use cases, making them valuable for enterprises looking to deploy AI quickly and effectively across multiple domains.
