it really depends on the downstream task and also the constraints of their use case like I believe in a future with a proliferation of different models that are all good at sort of different things and it's going to be very individualized almost Case by case what model someone wants to use I think nowadays we're in this interesting micro environment where everyone is just experimenting as they don't know quite what the use case is and so maybe the easiest thing is a massive model that can do everything but as the roles that these models play become increasingly clear in these organizations I think there's going to be a move towards using more domain specific models
