In From Fine-Tuning to Fusion: The Role of Agentic AI in Model Merging, the author explores how agentic AI systems can go beyond traditional fine-tuning by combining multiple specialized language models into a single, more capable whole. The article introduces the idea of model merging—not just blending models arbitrarily, but selecting and intelligently combining them based on strengths like factual accuracy or creative flair. It also discusses dynamic, query-driven routing—where an agent decides on the fly which model or combination of models should handle a particular request—and highlights how feedback loops enable ongoing self-improvement of merged systems.
Relation to Neon AI:
Neon AI’s BrainForge process follows a similar philosophy: it supports efficient, customizable tuning of small language models for specific tasks, enabling modular, refined agents that can be combined thoughtfully when needed. This mirrors the article’s focus on adaptable, collaborative model architectures—whether through dynamic routing or merging—while keeping the approach accessible to small businesses and individual developers by avoiding the overhead of large-scale infrastructure.
