> Where's the finance or legal models from Mistral or Meta or OpenAI?
Programming is "weird" in that it requires both specialized knowledge and specialized languages, and the languages are very different from any language that humans speak.
Legal requires specialized knowledge, but legal writing is still just English and it follows English grammar rules, although it's sometimes a very strange "dialect" of English.
Finance is weird in its own way, as that requires a lot more boring, highly-precise calculations, and LLMs are notoriously bad at those. I suspect that finance is always going to be some hybrid of an LLM driving an "old school" computer to do the hard math, via a programming language or some other, yet-unenvisioned protocol.
> programming really does seem to be the ideal usecase for LLMs in a way that other professions just haven't been able to crack.
This is true, mostly because of programmers' love of textual languages, textual protocols, CLI interfaces and generally all things text. If we were all coding in Scratch, this would be a lot harder.
Yes, it appears to be the clear successful usecase for the technology, in a way that hasn't been replicated for other professions.
I remain very sceptical that a chat-like interface is the ideal form for LLMs, yet it seems very optimal for programming specifically, along with Copilot-like interfaces of just outputting text.
