Now, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is warning of another way that embracing AI could doom a business. This can be accomplished by using AI gateways, which serve as a protective intermediary. That’s a striking claim — and an ironic one, since outsourcing your thinking is arguably exactly the point of using AI, of which Microsoft is a leading vendor. There’s been a lot of hype lately around open-weight models as a cheaper alternative to those offered by the top AI labs. Nadella thinks companies should ditch AI harnesses and instead use a custom AI platform that allows you to recruit multiple AI models — like a cheaper, open-weight one.
