Beyond LLMs: The Future of AI Models with Manish Patel from Jiva.ai

The AI race may not be won by bigger language models. Manish argues that LLMs are powerful interfaces, but weak foundations for true intelligence because language alone cannot capture planning, creativity or cross-domain reasoning. Jiva.ai is taking a different route: bottom-up model fusion, designed to merge specialised models into more efficient, resilient systems that can generalise across complex problems.The business implication is significant. As enterprises hit limits around cloud dependency, data leakage, compliance and compute cost, sovereign AI becomes more than a national policy idea. It becomes an enterprise operating requirement. Manish, a molecular geneticist turned AI founder, makes the case for AI systems that organisations can own, control and deploy securely, especially in regulated sectors like healthcare, finance and insurance.
