Companies need plans for open/local models to avoid vendor lock-in in critical AI infrastructure

Greg Isenberg argues that while the best model today might be closed-source, every serious company using AI should have a plan for open models, local models, and model switching. AI is becoming too important to build a business entirely on a foundation that someone else can close, similar to not betting 100% of marketing on a single social feed's algorithm. The post cites a fake statement claiming OpenAI ended its partnership with Cursor as an example of a vendor "closing the door," but this cited event is fictional.
