“That's always kind of a red flag for me when they're not model agnostic because if you look at this graph, it basically shows that they're behind every month, right?”
“So really think about if that discount is worth not actually having a Frontier product and remember that that optionality is your leverage if you don't have the capability to walk at any point you are stuck.”
What’s in it
- Explains why staying model-agnostic beats loyalty to one AI lab
- Warns that Frontier model leadership shifts every month
- Argues optionality with providers is your biggest strategic leverage

what capabilities you need, but be the expert on what complexity is. And keep in mind that who handles complexity changes. Um, oftentimes you'll see applied AI companies really be super outspoken on marketing with a specific lab. That's always kind of a red flag for me when they're not model agnostic because if you look at this graph, it basically shows that they're behind every month, right? the new model and the new model provider of the best Frontier capabilities change and if you hit your ride with one particular provider in exchange for for instance a larger discount um you're doing a disservice to your customers like half of the time right so really think about if that discount is worth not actually having a Frontier product and remember that that optionality is your leverage if you don't have the capability to walk at any point you are stuck. And again, I think that's probably the most expensive decision you'll make regardless of what discount you get or the engineering work to have model interoperability.
