YC itself runs finance, legal, and engineering on QM, and even uses it to develop itself—that's already the best proof of concept.

@FinanceYF5: 3/ On the same path, all advantages lie with the big companies. Models, margins, pricing power, distribution, brand — all in their hands. Even if your agent is stronger, you can't bypass their distribution army — so the smart move is not to fight head-on on this path.
