Merge founder: enterprise AI spend is concentrated internally, not in products
shensi · x · 2026-09-03
Merge's founder shares a counterintuitive observation: most enterprise AI spend is concentrated in a small number of companies and mostly internal, not in products — "AI spend is a workforce problem." The new Merge for Workforce syncs AI access via SCIM/IdP, deploys an MDM client that scans unauthorized models and MCP servers, and routes high-volume work to cheaper models while reserving frontier models for hard problems.
