John Kempf presents FieldLark AI, an agricultural model trained on two decades of AEA expertise. It outperforms general AI like ChatGPT and Claude on crop disease and insect diagnosis, though it's built for farming questions, not general use.

It is equivalent to Gemini or GROK or chatgpt or claude, but it is deeply trained specifically on agronomic, relevant and adjacent information, in addition to all of the information that we've developed internally here at AEA over the course of the last two decades. So, and we've, we've routinely tested it, and I welcome all of you to test it side by side if you have familiarity and experience with these other tools as well. When it comes to it's obviously a specialized and focused AI, and so it will it's not designed to answer other, more general questions, but when you focus specifically on agriculture or agronomy related questions, it exceeds the output of these other AIs by a very significant margin, particularly when you start asking it about how to solve specific problems, how to solve disease or insect problems.
