   What proportion of commercial LLM use is classification? I'm just wondering what happens to business AI spending/data centre usage when they realise they don't need full LLMs.

      I'd expect the vast majority at this point is coding. Classification is a thing but in my experience tends to run on light, cheap models, not the proprietary frontier ones.

         part of agentic engineering is classification as well tho. reviewing/gating, what to read etc. don't need a full LLM
