Chamath Palihapitiya states that consulting firms like PwC and Accenture risk displacement by feeding usage data to Anthropic and OpenAI while those providers launch competing services
Firms can route requests via Databricks intermediaries to retain control.
#440Naveen Rao@NAVEENGRAOThis absolutely correct. It’s why we at @unconvAI don’t consume models directly but through an intermediary from @databricks . Yes, my team built that infra, but I also know that the information can’t leak. The last thing we want is our competitors seeing patterns of our designs expressed by a model they are using.
Chamath Palihapitiya@chamathIf you are running a consulting business and you are deploying Anthropic or OpenAI directly into your organization (I’m looking at you PwC and Accenture) you are letting the fox into the hen house. OpenAI and Anthropic are openly funding and starting competitors to you while also using your usage to drive more success for them. This is not a failure on their part but a failure on your part. Consulting businesses that understand this are adopting a control plane that allows them to arbitrate where tokens go and who generates tokens for them. Controlling the tokens is controlling the spice (Dune). This was a key pillar of 8090’s global partnership with EY and they key feature of our Software Factory. We control token generation and can direct them to any model provider. We are close to another global partnership and will announce it soon. These organizations refuse to accept the disruption standing still or, even worse, by adopting and accelerating the companies who want to disrupt them.

@chamath i’m curious why aren’t they cooked regardless?

#1252Yash Patil@YPATIL125Exactly! The winning strategy is not betting on who has the best model this month. It is building the deployment layer where intelligence actually compounds.
That means serving the best possible agent tokens on durable infrastructure: route to any model, train your own when it makes sense, and own the context, harness, environment and interfaces around the agent.
Applied Compute is building this customer-first deployment layer. We help customers build intelligent systems where the value compounds on their side.

#1332Prakash@8TEAPIDo you not understand that in research you don’t know what the answer will be or when you will find it… but in business you have to make contingent decisions anyway ? A research driven business hence has to make plans for things that it doesn’t expect to happen…
