The author assumes specialization only happens at the model layer. But there's a third option: general model + specialized context.

I built an MCP server that feeds a user's real schedule, tasks, and goals into Claude/ChatGPT. The model isn't specialized — but the output is, because the context is. No fine-tuning, no domain-specific training. Just structured data at inference time.

Domain-specific LLMs won't exist not because specialization is useless, but because it's cheaper to specialize the input than the model.

I run a small ASCII art database (aahub.org) that's been going since 2017. Projects like this matter because the indie web's biggest problem isn't discovery — it's loneliness. You build something for years, and sometimes it feels like no one else is out there doing the same thing.
