Foundational Concepts

Foundation Model

A large AI model trained on broad data that can be adapted for many specific tasks.

Definition

A foundation model is trained once on a huge and varied dataset, enough to give it broad general knowledge. That single model can then be adapted, or fine-tuned, for many specific applications: customer service, legal document review, medical coding, financial analysis. This is economically significant because training a foundation model from scratch costs tens of millions of pounds; adapting an existing one costs a fraction of that. GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini are all foundation models.

Why this matters for your business

Businesses rarely need to build their own foundation model. The value is in knowing which model suits your use case, how to adapt it safely with your own data, and how to govern its outputs appropriately.
