not that no chance but my supervisor was a new scholar and can say they give a lot more chance and less scrutiny to scholar. our team was making this llm with multimodal capabilities like chatgpt 4o, and so we advertised a lot saying its the first of its kind and all that. but by the time we release, actually many vendor and open source doing better than that already. but because our director already say so much about it, then release an academic paper about it somemore and because got a big scholar behind it, everyone just ignore. on the contrary when another team member also in this same team faced similar issue, the management kind of just dismissed his work because not beating open source models. so kind of double standard but makes sense lah scholar must push up.

theyre still great people and working with them very fun. But actually when i was left, i downloaded their whole GitHub repo. i also dk why they never make it more private. i got mention it as a safety issue but they say they trust but i wonder if someone more malicious then how? anyway then i was looking through and saw that most of their products like the llm products that help with resume screening etc and the computer vision detection systems code all like can be done by vendors already leh. so the good thing is, for some teams, they are in business because of this.

so tldr is got chance but dont be surprised if they more easily impressed by scholar.
