A research lab pre-trains two language models, Model Alpha and Model Beta, on the same large text corpus. Model Alpha achieves a final test loss of 1.8, while Model Beta achieves a final test loss of 2.5. However, when both models are later adapted for a specialized legal document summarization task, Model Beta significantly outperforms Model Alpha. Which of the following statements provides the most likely explanation for this discrepancy?
