This is not a viable strategy. You're effectively paying for hardware and/or cloud. Why do this when OpenAI and Anthropic are both significantly subsidizing costs to win the market?

Talk to “AI” executives at large firms and 95% of them are clueless sales types that crawled their way to the top. Then again, it is basically a repeat of IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, etc. Same dumb executives making decision to not get fired and enjoy their place at corp.
