The Future of AI is Specialized, Why General Models Aren't Enough

Argues that Web3 needs domain-tuned models not generic LLMs, showing a pipeline: tokenized model proposals, contributor-curated datasets, LoRA fine-tuning adapters, evaluation via chat tests, and deployment on an Open Lora framework that multiplexes many fine-tuned adapters on a single GPU. Claims per-inference proof of attribution on-chain lets platforms reward data contributors and trace which data caused a rogue or superior action. Gives concrete examples: DeFi sentiment models, Move and Solidity code-auditing models.
