Enterprises may want to own their AI stack
Harry Stebbings argues that many enterprises will eventually want AI sovereignty: control over the whole supply chain, from the model to fine-tuning and deployment.
- Use an open-source model
- Fine-tune it on company data
- Keep the stack end to end instead of sending data to a third-party service
The core argument is that companies will care about sovereignty, cost, and self-improvement, especially if the external provider could become a competitor later.
The post also points to a broader discussion about open models, China’s progress in that space, cybersecurity concerns, and the idea that many AI startups are really research projects that may not survive.
