The Next AI Bottleneck Isn't Models.

The Next AI Bottleneck Isn't Models! For the last two years, having access to the best AI models felt like a competitive advantage. Companies raced to integrate GPT, Claude, Gemini, and whatever came next because better models often meant better outcomes. That gap is starting to close. Today, most businesses can access the same frontier models through an API. The challenge is no longer getting access to AI. It's figuring out how to use it effectively at scale. The companies creating the most value from AI are increasingly the ones that have the workflows, integrations, infrastructure, and compute in place to turn a model into something useful. The model remains important, but it's becoming one component of a much larger system.
