A long-held opinion about AI capabilities is that bigger and more are better. Bigger models, with more data, invariably equal better AI experiences. Today’s market reality is starkly different. It turns out companies adopting generative AI today don’t need models with 1 trillion parameters or even hundreds of billions of parameters frontier LLMs are trained on.

We are witnessing a sea-change in the way data is managed by banks and financial institutions all over the world. Data being commoditized and, in some cases, even monetized by banks is the order of the day. Though this seems to be at a stage where some more push is required in terms of adoption in the risk management function. Traditional risk managers, by their job definition, are highly cautious of the result sets provided by the analytics teams.

The shift toward a dynamic, bidirectional, and actively managed grid marks a significant departure from traditional grid architecture.
