Cheesecake Factory vs. the Steakhouse
TLDR
After working with both frontier and specialized models on narrow, high-impact problems at companies like Gate, I'm sold. If a specialized model is within reach, it wins. Hot Bot is built on that bet.
Two Kinds of Models
Frontier models know a little about everything.
Specialized models know one thing extremely well.
The Analogy
The Cheesecake Factory has a massive menu. Everything on it is good.
Your favorite steakhouse serves one thing: the best steak in town.
What I Saw
At companies like Gate I used both kinds on narrow problems where the results really mattered.
When the specialized model is within reach, it wins. Every time.
Why It Matters for Trading
Everybody wants products that make them money in crypto.
They're also the hardest thing to build.
That's where specialized models win.
In Closing (for now)
Order the steak. 🔥🤖
