The author argues that the true value of enterprise AI lies not in edge cases, but within core business systems like inventory control, sales order automation, and supply chain management, where tangible returns are more easily realized.
They advocate for deploying open-source models behind the company firewall, training and running them on proprietary data rather than handing over sensitive workflows to external frontier model providers. The core thesis is: data is the value, while models are commodities. True moats are built on enterprise context, domain knowledge, and the intelligent application of data.
