@cheneypiano Agreed, I guess a little bit of my point. The cat’s already out of the bag.

@McKeeCreative1 You may find @VertesiaHQ interesting as you scale or as you work with clients through your AI assessment. No direct affiliation. Some former colleagues are building there.

The recent issues with frontier models are a reminder that many organizations have built critical operations on a very narrow foundation.

A lot of teams are now rethinking how much they want to depend on any single provider.

How are you thinking about AI model dependency and resilience in your organization?

I shared some thoughts here: https://t.co/K2sNQw0xlA

[Nicholas Kerzman @nkerzman]

@AIWarper Pretty accurate

[Nicholas Kerzman @nkerzman]

@AIWarper Thank you for the resources and the detailed example

@cheneypiano Tip of the iceberg for future model control, sadly.

@McKeeCreative1 Intended to test this weekend. Sadly, the US government shut it down.

[Nicholas Kerzman @nkerzman]

@AlexFinn Sadly, it didn’t take long for the government to step in.

[Nicholas Kerzman @nkerzman]

@McKeeCreative1 I’d love the content on your website. This is great. Wishing you success over there.

@SheilaC122 Alex, Cars that will never be built for $1,000 please.

@AlfieJCarter Skills thank you

Frontier model providers are experiencing disruptions again.

If your teams rely on these models for production workflows, this is becoming more than an occasional inconvenience.

I wrote about why single-provider dependency has turned into a strategic liability for large organizations and what more resilient approaches look like.

Recent disruptions (@claudeai) with frontier models are making it clear that many organizations have built too much dependency on a small number of providers.

Teams are now looking for more resilient ways to work across multiple models without creating new operational risks.

One of the more interesting platforms built for this is @VertesiaHQ, which focuses on model-agnostic agentic orchestration with strong governance and observability.

I wrote more about the broader strategic challenge here:

I wrote a deeper piece on building more resilient AI operations and reducing single-provider concentration risk.

How are you approaching model dependency in your organization right now?

[Nicholas Kerzman @nkerzman]

Frontier model providers are experiencing disruptions again. @claudeai is down. 🧵

For many teams, this isn’t just an inconvenience anymore. It’s a signal that we’ve built too much operational dependency on a very small number of AI providers.

[Nicholas Kerzman @nkerzman]

Treating AI model selection as an ongoing portfolio decision, rather than a one-time architecture choice, is becoming a meaningful operational advantage.

The organizations that apply the same discipline to their AI stack that they apply to cloud and data infrastructure will be better positioned over the next few years.
