    <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>

      <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

        selling the data/schema that are used in them, if they are not
