Explore the practical application of generative AI, particularly within enterprise settings using platforms from some of the leaders in the space. It critically examines the prevailing trend of deploying excessively large language models (LLMs), arguing that a "one-size-fits-all" approach may not optimize value creation. Instead, it advocates for a shift towards customized generative AI strategies, emphasizing the importance of tailoring LLM scalability and customization to specific organizational needs. By questioning the default "XL" approach, this work highlights the potential pitfalls of over-engineered AI and underscores the necessity of nuanced, personalized solutions for achieving optimal performance and alignment with unique enterprise objectives.
