<p>SO I can't be more specific for usual NDA reasons however I am
aware of a number of LLM/Search projects<br>
that I have more detailed inside information on, which as the
business model becomes clearer I might be able to add more <br>
details - those are issues that are being explore as we speak.<br>

Something to keep in mind when pushing this:

</div>
<div>None of the LLM systems are currently profitable, and are
being kept cheap by injections of private equity. There is a
danger that should be brought up that access to these systems
could be curtailed at some point by price point or industry
shake-up, or become problematic as their use is subsidized by
selling the data/schema that are used in them, if they are not
kept within an organization . . .<br
