Every F500 CEO told their team "have an AI strategy ASAP".

In a year, when the economy might be in worse shape, they'll ask their team if the AI thing is working out.

What do you think happens to all the enterprise OpenAI contracts at that point? (Especially if the same tech layperson CEOs keep reading Forbes and hearing Scott Galloway dump on OpenAI and call the AI thing a "bubble"?)

I will change a few lines of code and use another AI model?

    Yeah- given all top AI models are more and more generalists, as time goes on there is less and less reason to use one over another.

      It’s really even easier than that. I already do all my work on AWS and use Bedrock that hosts every popular model and its own except for OpenAIs closed source models.

      I have a reusable library that lets me choose between any of the models I choose to support or any new model in the same family that uses the same request format.

      Every project I’ve done, it’s a simple matter of changing a config setting and choosing a different model.

      If the model provider goes out of business, it’s not like the model is going to disappear from AWS the next day.

        > Bedrock

        This sounds so enterprise. I've been wanting to talk to people that actually use it.

        Why use Bedrock instead of OpenRouter, Fal, etc.? Doesn't that tie you down to Amazon forever?

        Isn't the API worse? Aren't the p95 latencies worse?

        The costs higher?

    Are all of their sales their code gen model? And isn't there a lot of competition in the code gen space from Google and Anthropic?

    I'd imagine they sold these to enterprise:

    https://openai.com/business/

    "ChatGPT for Business", sold per seat

    "API Platform"

    I could see the former getting canned if AI isn't adding value.

    Developers can change the models they use frequently, especially with third party infrastructure like OpenRouter or FAL.

they will go to google if it wins the AI race.
