When my co-founders and I started building our platform, the prevailing industry consensus was that the future of AI belonged exclusively to a tiny handful of elite, hyper-capitalized technology labs. The dominant narrative insisted that massive centralized scale and closed proprietary control were the only viable paths to frontier capabilities.
Today, that multi-billion-dollar bet on proprietary infrastructure is facing a massive market disruption. From my perspective as a founder, the era of treating AI as a rented utility is rapidly drawing to a close, replaced by an urgent global demand for open-source independence and data sovereignty.
