When we started Flip AI, we believed that general LLMs or domain specific LLMs are only one part of the equation, the real benefits will be unlocked ONLY when the intelligence acts on enterprise data flywheels -- either RAG like architectures or connecting the dots across data sources. Well articulated by Matt Carbonara ✅ in this great piece on Forbes. https://lnkd.in/g_m2myVv #DevOps #LLM #AI #RAG #DataFlywheel
