By combining the old systems of predictive AI with more contemporary tools, the company believes it can reshape how large enterprises analyze their data. “With our model Nexus, we have built the best foundation model to handle that type of data.”The idea has already drawn significant interest from investors. Called a large tabular model (LTM) rather than a large language model (LLM), Fundamental’s Nexus breaks from contemporary AI practices in a number of significant ways. Those differences are important because Fundamental is chasing a use case where contemporary AI models often falter. Using Nexus, the company can bring contemporary techniques to big data analysis, offering something more powerful and flexible than the algorithms that are currently in use.
