Harvey trains open-source models to encode law-firm workflows

Harvey told Artificial Lawyer it is running proof-of-concept studies with law firms to train open-source models to encode complex workflows, client-specific methods and legal playbooks. If this works, the strategic question for large firms becomes whether they can own specialized legal intelligence and private evaluations, rather than merely subscribe to the same general model stack as competitors.
