's Moat:

Specialized models trained on a team's specific agent tasks encode domain knowledge that generic fine-tuning platforms do not capture. The optimization feedback loop (production performance data feeds back into training) means model quality improves continuously for each deployment.

How They're Leveraging AI

AI Use Overview:

Using fine-tuning infrastructure for domain-specific models, optimized low-latency deployment, and continuous improvement loops that beat generalist alternatives.
