How we fine-tuned and deployed a focused open model with frontier-level accuracy at roughly one-third the cost.
Introducing Pallet Labs
Turning frontier-model capability into AI that reliably participates in real supply chain operations takes research. Pallet Labs is our dedicated effort to study the hardest and most important problems in applying AI to one of the world’s most complex industries.
