LLM Pretraining & Fine-tuning
One team usually needs three different things at once: a corpus to build on, a corpus to adapt with, and behaviour data to tune against. They are separate products with separate acceptance criteria.
LLM pretraining & fine-tuning →Machine Translation
Monolingual data to build on, parallel and comparable corpora to train on, alignment and filtering you can inspect, and terminology labels that survive into the release.
Machine translation →RAG & Search
Retrieval quality is mostly an ingestion problem. Structure that survives extraction, chunks that keep their lineage, and an evaluation set with unanswerable questions in it.
RAG & search →Domain-specific AI
Most enterprise AI data work is a permissions problem before it is a modelling problem. Whose data is it, what may it be used for, and who reviews the result.
