- @brian_armstrong: Fine-tuned Qwen3.5-9B beat frontier models on Coinbase fraud (x.com)
Brian Armstrong reports that Coinbase fine-tuned the open-weight model Qwen3.5-9B on proprietary internal data, and it outperformed frontier models on fraud prevention, at much lower cost and speed. He argues that specialist models will increasingly outperform generalist frontier models on narrow tasks, whether working within teams or on their own. Coinbase is making it easy for employees to fine-tune models internally, including through a skill in its internal harness, and Armstrong suggests some backend services could be replaced entirely by this architecture.
