Can a machine beat a Wall Street journalist to the punch? In this episode of the Cloud Do You Do podcast, Revolgy’s Štěpán Kaiser sits down with Gelu Sulugiuc, a former financial journalist for Bloomberg and Reuters who traded the newsroom for the startup world. Gelu shares his incredible journey from growing up in communism to building and successfully selling his first AI startup, PLX AI, to Thomson Reuters. Today, he’s building his next company on Google Cloud. His team creates custom tools that scan financial reports and catch the big news the second it drops. In this episode: Why building specialized, in-house AI models is more accurate and cost-effective than relying on massive LLMs like Claude.
