Stack Overflow Blog·low signal

Stack Overflow interviewed Harsha Chintalapani, co-founder and CTO of Collate and co-creator of Open Metadata, about why LLMs struggle with real-time structured production data. The discussion argues that most LLM failures in enterprise contexts are actually data quality and data pipeline problems, not model capability problems. For builders deploying LLM-powered applications, this reframes the optimization target from prompt engineering to data infrastructure.
