OWN YOUR INTELLIGENCE Last year, building on open-weight models was primarily a cost rationalization exercise. Slightly worse performance for a much cheaper price. Now, it is increasingly an existential and strategic topic for our portfolio. Intelligence is the product. Companies want to shape it and own it and let...

Enterprise AI is in a wildly paradoxical state 🤔, and we’re reaching the inflection point that will resolve it. 💥 Enterprises want to differentiate with AI, yet rent the same intelligence as their competitors. Their workflows and expertise are highly specialized, yet they rely on generic models built to be good at everything. They worry about AI costs, yet pay premium prices for massive models where only a fraction (1%) of the intelligence is relevant to their task. 💸 And they demand control and sovereignty, yet rent the intelligence becoming core to their business. This is not a sustainable equilibrium. The next era of enterprise AI is specialized intelligence companies build, own, and compound. And we are at the inflection point of this transition. That’s the bet we made when we started Oumi two years ago. Today we’re closing the loop: Oumi can now not only automatically build your specialized AI models, but also deploy them into production, learn from their production experience, and continuously improve them. The intelligence that your business runs on, becomes your differentiator. Your compounding advantage. The winners of the next AI era will turn their own data, expertise, and experience into specialized intelligence that nobody else can rent. Don’t rent your AI. Build it. Own it. Compound it.

Your data is your edge, but only if your AI is built on it. Rent a generic model and so can your competitor. The companies with an edge are deploying custom models that they own and improve over time. Our co-founder Rhythm Garg recently stopped by South Park Commons to share how companies are owning their intelligence with Applied Compute.

.Chamath Palihapitiya on building a moat in 2026: If you are a reasonable company, why are you not finding an independent way to access intelligence in a way that doesn't leak your edge away? To [not] do so at this point now is kind of becoming derelict and irresponsible… With post-training and telemetry collected from usage, you can take GLM, control it entirely, soup to nuts, on your own hardware, inside the United States, and have it be much, much cheaper. Start building your own intelligence today.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI: "GPT 5.6 is 54% more efficient on agentic coding, and it's still the best on the market for half the cost." AI spend has never mattered as much as it does today. As a result the models keep getting better and cheaper at the same time. This is going to widen the gap between the people using AI agents and everyone else, because now it's not just powerful, it's cheap. That's exactly why i wrote a full step by step guide on agents, what they are and how to build your own from scratch. Read it below.

When Mudith Jayasekara and I met Gabe Pereyra, we were expecting just another vanilla intro call and instead had the best yarn about research, the state of LLMs, and where intelligence is actually heading. It's rare to meet a founder this deep in the weeds who's also building for one of the most important verticals in this new age of intelligence So it was awesome to sit down with Gabe for an extended discussion on what it take to build agents that can reliably complete work over hours, days, or even longer? We talked about why agents today struggle with search and long context windows and how techniques like KV-cache compaction, synthetic data, and continual learning could help. 0:00 Introduction 0:36 Getting legal agents to review the whole data room 2:08 Data rooms larger than any context window 5:28 How far open-source models can go 7:58 Where specialist models fit in legal AI 10:59 Training legal models when client data is off-limits 13:06 Teaching a model how a law firm works 13:59 What belongs in context vs. model weights 15:36 From firm-wide AI to a model for every lawyer 18:37 What training adds beyond retrieving the right cases 20:26 Why context windows have plateaued 24:01 How models could learn continuously on the job 26:12 Can AI recursively improve AI research? 27:07 Research agents can run experiments but not choose them 30:00 Why open-ended research is hard to train 33:47 Why deployment, not intelligence, is the bottleneck 35:08 The cost of frontier intelligence 36:59 Different neolabs, different paths to intelligence 39:26 Using open datasets to compare research methods 41:13 Conclusion

Alex Karp went on TV and said his enterprise customers are done letting AI companies quietly steal the alpha out of their business, and the CEO of Together AI explained on CNBC exactly how that theft works. Karp said his customers are livid. They feel they pay for tokens that create nothing while handing over the secret sauce of their own company. Then Vipul Ved Prakash laid out the mechanism. Every time you send your data to a company with very smart models, you hand them the recipe to rebuild what you do. Your data is the thing that makes you money. And you are pushing it straight into a competitor's system. The smarter the models get, the more they learn from what you feed them. This is why companies are moving to open models, and it was never really about price. You can download an open model, run it inside your own walls, and never let your data leave the building. It scores 81 against the top closed model's 85, and runs up to sixty times cheaper. Half the Fortune 500 is already running open models from Hugging Face. The story was that the labs win because they own the best models. The companies paying them just realized they owned the best data the whole time.

Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar says Chinese open source models pose a "threat to American Prosperity": "These Chinese open source models are really the result of distillation attacks." "Most of this is just stolen American IP from frontier labs, and I think the frontier labs should do more to protect that IP, and that's in their own economic interest." "The gravest threat to us is not homicide, it's suicide." "It's an inability to turn these tokens into economic value and generate American prosperity for it." "You see that with the proposed moratorium in New York on data centers. Turning our back on AI would be as consequential a mistake as turning our back on the atom in the '70s." "It's just the beginning, but we're starting to see a burgeoning US open model ecosystem forming." "NVIDIA's Nemotron models are very good." "I think you're going to see in the next month a slate of announcements of other American companies, non-frontier labs, neo labs, who are putting out open weight models that companies are going to be able to cheaply fine-tune and capture their own alpha in weights they control."

Launching today: the world’s first fully optimized LLM routing stack that can be embedded directly into your product, Merge Embedded Routing Stack. Model sovereignty is now table stakes for any AI product. Users and companies are demanding full control over the AI models running in your product. Right now, no company is able to do this without massive overhead. Until today. Merge makes it easy for your customers to use your product exactly the way they want to. With a single API, you can: 1. Allow customers to bring their own keys, manage their own budgets, and set policies like fallback rules, model allowlists, and more 2. Let each customer connect and switch their own models, right inside your product 3. Optimize each customer for cost, performance, or capability Without Merge, you’d be: - Building routing policies, provider integrations, and LLM key management - Giving your users zero model independence - Receiving endless customer support tickets asking “can I use 5.6 Sol?” Products that fight their customers' model strategy will lose to products that fit it. Merge is the only place that allows your users to produce the exact results they want, with the models they have access to. Give your customers the advantage, without the massive overhead costs.

Announcing the Open Model Series: a new series on open source AI models, with merve of Hugging Face. Hugging Face is the open model hub: it hosts model weights, datasets, evals, & demo apps, and maintains the open-source libraries (like transformers) used to run and train them. I think of it like GitHub, but for AI models. You can download open models and run them on your own machines. In this series we'll cover what open source and open weight models are, how they work, how to run them yourself, and why they're important. By the way - this video is edited entirely with Claude! I can make a tutorial on how I did it. If there's a question you want answered about open models, leave it in the comments. We will read them all. Episode 1 is out soon.

If you use LLM-as-judge, this one is for you. (bookmark it) Most teams validate their agent's outputs by calling a frontier model as the judge. It works, until it doesn't. Three problems stack up fast: → Cost: you're hitting a frontier API on every turn, every tool call, every response. In production that burns millions. → Latency: bigger models, remote calls, slow reasoning on every check. → Blind spots: frontier models don't actually know your domain. In finance, insurance, or healthcare, they miss the keywords and principles your work depends on. So I walk through a different approach: train your own small LLM judge. Instead of a giant model, you start with a small one and let the system generate the training data for you. It decomposes your domain, samples synthetic examples, runs them through a debate arena where judges reach consensus, then trains on the refined set. The result is a judge that's cheaper, faster, and more accurate on your data than Gemini, Claude, or GPT, with an OpenAI-compatible endpoint you can even deploy on-prem. I show the whole thing end to end, using a Claude Code plugin and a web interface, with a real insurance RAG grounding evaluator as the example. You can get the plugin here: Here's the full breakdown: 00:00 - Intro 00:12 - Three problems with using frontier LLMs as judges 01:05 - A different approach: train your own small judge 01:31 - How it works (synthetic data and a debate arena) 02:50 - Installing the Claude Code plugin 04:03 - Defining your task with /eval 04:34 - Example: an insurance RAG grounding evaluator 05:51 - Kicking it off and giving early feedback 06:26 - Choosing labels, domain, and strictness 08:30 - The web interface and dashboard 09:52 - Bringing your own example data (optional) 10:26 - The finished model: endpoint, accuracy, and speed 11:16 - Control, on-prem deployment, and interpretability 11:57 - Benchmarks vs frontier models and the GitHub repo 12:30 - Outro I worked with the Plurai team on this. Thanks for sponsoring the video.

Today, we’re launching Parsed. We are incredibly lucky to live in a world where we stand on the shoulders of giants, first in science and now in AI. Our heroes have gotten us to this point, where we have brilliant general intelligence in our pocket. But this is a local minima. We now have an ecosystem of burgeoning tasks where each requires a different kind of intelligence, a different context, a whole host of implicit assumptions and latent knowledge and domain expertise that is very difficult to cram into a system prompt. The big labs want you renting their $50k/month amnesiac interns that forget everything between conversations. Generic behemoths that get quantised, versioned and deprecated behind the scenes, where the only element of control you have is your messy monolithic user prompt. We want people who need their own intelligence to be able to not only access it, but also control it. And whilst the big general models are unbelievably good chatbots and coding agents and purveyors of the world, specialisation of intelligence is required. Clinical scribes, marketing compliance agents, legal red-lining models, insurance policy recommenders, the list goes on. And so that’s what Parsed does: deploy your own frontier model that actually learns. We eval your specific task, build a custom evaluation harness, optimise a model just for you, and host it with continual learning. We bake all the context and knowledge of your task into the model itself, from your engineers to your domain experts to customer feedback, all in a tight SFT → RL loop, with useful interpretability made possible by the open-source ecosystem we build on top of. No more 2000-word prompts with seventeen "IMPORTANT: NEVER DO X" clauses. Your model gets better at YOUR job every single day; the amnesiac pseudo-gods have had their run. Your model, your data, your moat. Let's build 🫡

Today, we’re launching Parsed. We are incredibly lucky to live in a world where we stand on the shoulders of giants, first in science and now in AI. Our heroes have gotten us to this point, where we have brilliant general intelligence in our pocket. But this is a local minima. We now have an ecosystem of burgeoning tasks where each requires a different kind of intelligence, a different context, a whole host of implicit assumptions and latent knowledge and domain expertise that is very difficult to cram into a system prompt. The big labs want you renting their $50k/month amnesiac interns that forget everything between conversations. Generic behemoths that get quantised, versioned and deprecated behind the scenes, where the only element of control you have is your messy monolithic user prompt. We want people who need their own intelligence to be able to not only access it, but also control it. And whilst the big general models are unbelievably good chatbots and coding agents and purveyors of the world, specialisation of intelligence is required. Clinical scribes, marketing compliance agents, legal red-lining models, insurance policy recommenders, the list goes on. And so that’s what Parsed does: deploy your own frontier model that actually learns. We eval your specific task, build a custom evaluation harness, optimise a model just for you, and host it with continual learning. We bake all the context and knowledge of your task into the model itself, from your engineers to your domain experts to customer feedback, all in a tight SFT → RL loop, with useful interpretability made possible by the open-source ecosystem we build on top of. No more 2000-word prompts with seventeen "IMPORTANT: NEVER DO X" clauses. Your model gets better at YOUR job every single day; the amnesiac pseudo-gods have had their run.

Custom Agents become generally available today. What we learned in the alpha: - Over a million custom agents went live! The use cases are SO broad. Seeing what people do with them is easily my favorite part of the job. - Agents are not just for engineers! People from every function are now building their own factories. (watch this space at Developer day next week!) - The combination of custom agents with Notion Workers is basically magic! What you can automate is now limited by your own imagination. - Control matters! Context, permissions, and cost came up a lot, and we shipped major improvements within the alpha. - On cost, people love the ability to experiment with different models, and swap out more expensive models with open-weight ones, where it makes sense. - Usage-based pricing is new for Notion, but becoming the standard for AI. It fits the idea of intelligence as a service. Really grateful for all the feedback. It directly shaped what we shipped. Keep it coming, my DMs are open.

Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar reacts to Alex Karp's comments on sovereign AI and why companies need to control their alpha: "The corporate response has been overwhelming." "We certainly felt that as we were engaging with customers through the close of Q2." "The reality is the frontier labs do amazing things. People should continue using those models. They are going to continue to innovate. But also there is an aspect of protecting your business. What makes your business special? What makes you different than your competitors? How you compound on that?" "Ultimately the terminal value of all of our American enterprises are going to come down to: what is the compounding asset you own and what is the rate at which you're compounding on it?"
