This repost emphasizes that enterprises should strive to control their own data and infrastructure, avoiding tying their "corporate brain" entirely to a single closed-source service. The author mentions they are developing an OSS tool that deploys "virtual collaborators" from Slack/Teams into the company's own environment, starting with ready-made hosted models and later switching to self-hosted, open-source fine-tuned models.

They also mentioned they are working on evaluations, planning to let users switch between frontier models and fine-tuned OSS models on a per-channel basis. This approach could reduce enterprise costs from the hundreds of thousands per year to a much lower figure, while keeping data and systems entirely under their own control.
