The idea
Most generative AI tools sit on a foundation model: a model trained on broad data, mostly through self-supervision, and usable across a wide range of tasks.
In practice
One underlying model drafting emails for sales, summaries for legal and code for engineering, inside three different products.
Where people slip
NIST warns that products sharing one foundation model can share its weaknesses too.
