A bank customer said it would pay for frontier models when the use case could generate alpha and was especially important.

“Like, if it's alpha and we're making money and it's like, you know, super important, we'll pay the money, not, no big deal. But for all the other things, like, it's really expensive, and we're gonna create all of our own open-weight models, you know, and do more post-training on them and those sort of things," that that's the way they're gonna operate.”
