Tokenomics: The Economics Of AI Value Realization

Open-Weight Models Are Proliferating, But The Platform Race Matters More
Last week, AI startup Reflection released a new open weight model, Beam, claiming parity with leading Chinese open models and at only “a fraction of the token cost and inference time.” Days later, Mistral introduced open-weight model Mistral Large 4 (ML4), nicknamed Le Chonk in reference to its 1 trillion parameters. Taken together, these models […]

Microsoft FabCon 2026: Enterprise AI Needs A Governed Context Layer, Not Just Data
Microsoft is steadily repositioning Fabric from a unified analytics platform into a governed context layer for enterprise AI. An agent answering a revenue question needs to know which measure applies, how customers and transactions relate, and what information it may use. At FabCon and SQLCon in Barcelona, Microsoft showed how Fabric IQ, OneLake, Power BI […]

Who Will Become The Trusted Assurer Of Your Enterprise AI?
California’s recently enacted AI legislation may ultimately matter for a reason that has received relatively little attention. Senate Bill 813 and Assembly Bill 1405 are not just about governing AI systems. They begin to formalize expectations for the organizations that assess, verify, and audit those systems. The state’s subsequent executive order reinforces that direction by […]

AGI Has Arrived, But It’s Just Barely Competent
On September 6, Jensen Huang declared that AGI has arrived. Hours later, Gary Marcus answered that there was no evidence and no definition behind the claim. Both men are arguing without criteria.

The Market Is Finally Making Fine-Tuned Models Happen
After years of vendors heralding the arrival of fine-tuned models to save enterprises from the latency, unpredictable costs, and strenuous upgrade lifecycles of cloud-based model APIs, the moment for fine-tuned models has finally arrived. While frontier models are massive, general-purpose, and must be run from cloud servers, fine-tuned models (mostly composed of post-trained open-weight models) […]

Manufacturing’s AI Future Will Be Decided At The Gemba
Like us, you’ve probably noticed that over the past two years, most discussions about AI in manufacturing have focused on what LLMs can do for engineers, planners, and other knowledge workers. Vendors have showcased copilots that summarize documents, answer questions, and generate content. Those capabilities matter, but they may not be where manufacturers ultimately realize […]

Intent Is The New Epicenter Of Agentic Security
Cybersecurity spent decades trying to stop things from happening, identifying them, and then investigating what happened. Agentic AI challenges us with a much more difficult question: What was the system trying to do? Agents don’t just execute instructions. They interpret objectives, select tools, access data, cross systems, and change tactics. In most cases, a user […]

Turn AEGIS Controls Into An Agentic AI Security Stack
Agentic AI creates control, technology, and purchasing problems. Security leaders need to know the controls that they must satisfy, the technologies that can satisfy them, where existing tools already provide coverage, and where a new investment actually fills a gap. Far too often, we see clients conducting that process in reverse order … trying to […]
