Are LTMs the next LLMs? This new type of AI can do what large-language models can't

A major difference between LLMs and LTMs is the type of data they're able to synthesize and use. LLMs use unstructured data-think text, social media posts, emails, etc. LTMs, on the other hand, can extract information or insights from structured data, which could be contained in tables, for instance. Since many enterprises rely on structured data, often contained in spreadsheets, to run their operations, LTMs could have an immediate use case for many organizations.
