Harvey Expands AI Options Beyond OpenAI - Legal AI startup Harvey, supported by the OpenAI Startup Fund, will now utilize foundation models from Anthropic and Google alongside OpenAI's. This decision comes after internal benchmarks revealed diverse model performance on legal tasks. By incorporating high-performing models and fine-tuning them, Harvey aims to enhance its legal services without solely concentrating on model training.
This strategy increases competitive pressure on its investors and broadens Harvey's ability to offer nuanced legal solutions. Despite using competitor models, Harvey continues to maintain strong ties with OpenAI as a major investor and collaborator. This move strategically boosts Harvey's capabilities in the legal tech landscape.
