Cheesecake Factory vs. the Steakhouse

A massive menu next to a steakhouse card that serves one thing. Headline: Order the steak.

TLDR

After working with both frontier and specialized models on narrow, high-impact problems at companies like Gate, I'm sold.

If a specialized model is within reach, it wins.

Hot Bot is built on that bet.

Two Kinds of Models

Frontier models know a little about everything.

Specialized models know one thing extremely well.

The Analogy

The Cheesecake Factory has a massive menu. Everything on it is good.

Your favorite steakhouse serves one thing: the best steak in town.

What I Saw

At companies like Gate I used both kinds on narrow problems where the results really mattered.

When the specialized model is within reach, it wins. Every time.

Why It Matters for Trading

Everybody wants products that make them money in crypto.

They're also the hardest thing to build.

That's where specialized models win.

In Closing (for now)

Order the steak. 🔥🤖
