LEMs are specialized neural networks that predict the next user event—just as LLMs predict the next word. Sequen’s LEMs are pre-trained on billions of user-site interactions and fine-tuned to optimize for the outcomes you care about. No more fixed pipelines with fragmented infrastructure. Sequen replaces them with a single endpoint that adaptively handles all phases of personalization via LEMs and memory models—all through a sub-25ms API.
