Неумолимое и скачкообразное развитие новомодных LLM не оставляет вообще никаких сомнений (лично у меня), что в ближайшее время можно будет засвидетельствовать у малого и среднего бизнеса свою собственную модельку, работающую с БД клиентов, оперирующую внутренней документацией и нарезающую задачи сотрудникам.

Привет Хабр! Меня зовут Артур Валиев, и я разработчик небольшого мобильного приложения с названием «Echo Layer».Меня давно не отпускала одна мысль: почти все разговоры о приватной переписке в какой‑то момент упираются не в шифрование, не в криптографию, не в архитектуру, а в банальную человеческую инерцию.
