Before deploying Agentic AI, validate autonomy need, ROI and model size
DavidLinthicum · x · 2026-11-09
Cloud architect David Linthicum cautions that Agentic AI isn't the answer to every business problem. He advises enterprises to validate three things before adopting agents: whether autonomy is actually needed, whether the ROI holds up, and whether a smaller model could do the job — especially as compute capacity tightens. The core message: deploy agents only where they genuinely make sense.
