Yash Patil, CEO of Applied Compute, sat down with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to explore when enterprises should develop and own custom AI models rather than rely on external providers, highlighting the role of private evaluation benchmarks and the pursuit of organization-specific intelligence.
"There should be as many models in the world as firms in the world."
Satya and I dig into when to own vs. rent your intelligence, why every company should be building and climbing its own private evals, and what makes for a stable frontier.
The conversation centers on private, company-specific benchmarks as a way to measure real progress, though no details on exact criteria or outcomes were confirmed in available coverage.
Patil's startup focuses on training smaller models on proprietary data inside customer environments, yet the interview itself contains no product announcements, pricing, or rollout timelines.
Positive users praise Yash Patil for urging one AI model per company in the Nadella interview, while one negative reply objects that the claim implies Microsoft's models are trash.

@ypatil125 Great conversation @ypatil125! Human capital and token capital compounding together is the entire game. This is the positive-sum future we need to build to benefit everyone.

@satyanadella @ypatil125 Could you please accelerate the Azure growth instead if putting a lot of resources in copilot which is still not good enough compared to the claude.
A lot of capex but Azure growth weaker than google, what about margin? Google has TPU and Amazon has Trainium
