I ran a test for 3 days comparing a general AI model to a fine-tuned one for summarizing legal documents.

Honestly, the fine-tuned model was way better because it actually understood the legal terms and didn't just pull random sentences, so has anyone else seen a big jump in quality when you use a specialized model for a specific job?

But is the difference really that big if you're just summarizing? I feel like a general model could get close enough for most people's needs without the extra work.

Yeah I saw a breakdown where the fine-tuned summaries caught way more nuance, @linda_clark. The general ones kept missing key points.
