  • If you need zero-shot app software to work, then quality matters a lot.
    • Especially when the software has to be chonky, like an app.
    • But if you had a system that worked reliably no matter the quality of the LLM, then you wouldn't have to care how good the LLM provider was.
    • The baseline floor of quality would be good enough.
      • Especially if the quality of the software grew combinatorially on top of that floor.
