INSIGHT

Frontier Models Are No Longer The Only Game

  • Frontier models are becoming commoditized, shifting competition to product, distribution, and ecosystem features.
  • Model performance alone no longer guarantees long-term leadership in AI.
ADVICE

Catalog And Test Your GPTs Now

  • Catalog and test prompts and GPTs proactively because providers will migrate GPTs to new models.
  • Test workflows with alternative models and maintain backups to avoid disruptions when provider changes occur.
ADVICE

Prepare Contingency Plans For AI Outages

  • Build contingency plans and redundancy for AI dependencies, including fallback open-source or smaller local models.
  • Treat AI infrastructure like critical business infrastructure and prepare IT and leadership for outages or performance drops.
