Summary

Open-weight LLMs and generative AI models provide unique advantages for enterprises, particularly around privacy, security, and version control. Some of these models can run on-device, enabling powerful new applications. Others allow you to take a model that another company invested millions in training and fine-tune it for your own needs. At the same time, these models bring distinct challenges—whether deployed on-device or in the cloud. Let’s share what we’ve learned and explore the possibilities together.
