Those “cheap” tokens? They multiply fast.
Long prompts, chat history, retries, context windows → real infrastructure bills.

Don’t default to the biggest model.
Mid-size or distilled often deliver 80–95% of capability at a fraction of cost and latency.

In AI, you can’t have it all—quality, speed, and low cost don’t coexist at the top.
Define your priority, then optimize the rest around it.

AI latency has two faces:
⌛ Time to first token.
⏳ Time to complete.
Users feel both.

Quality in AI isn’t a hope.
It’s an SLO.
Measure it, set a floor, enforce it.

#AI #EnterpriseAI #Governance #AIstrategy

[Walter Olivito @olivitowd]

Stop endless accuracy chasing.
If users are satisfied at the floor, you’re done.
Past that, you’re just burning money.

In traditional software:
❌ Wrong output = a bug
In AI:
⚠️ Variability is intentional and unavoidable.
We must design around that unpredictability

#AI #LLMs #EnterpriseAI #RiskManagement

Performance in AI ≠ speed.
It’s a trilemma: Quality, Latency, Cost.
Choose wisely, boosting one will cost you on the other two.

How I decide:

Diverge → deep research, broad context.
Converge → narrow the frame, test the decision.

With LLMs, I use divergence to expand and convergence to challenge.

The ceiling isn’t the LLM. It’s your prompt.

The model’s limits matter, but what really constrains value is how you guide the LLM to get the desired outcome.

Knowledge was scarce; Google made it abundant.
Intelligence is now abundant.

The scarce resource? Disciplined thinking: framing problems, filtering noise, making trade-offs.

AGI grabs the headlines. But the tools we already have are powerful enough to reshape entire industries.
The world will change a lot — no AGI required.

How to integrate with Whatsapp using Anypoint Platform and Nexmo

I loved this post from Stephen Fishman about API business and technical ownership.
Technology plays an important role in an API implementation, so does Introducing processes, defining responsibilities and managing changes.

After 3 years and 9 months, one-half of the records in a customer’s database are incorrect. #DataQuality #APIs can help extending the life of contact data.

What APIs are available to help with your current challenge?

[Walter Olivito @olivitowd]

Close alignment to business objectives and commercial goals are essential to design better #APIs and increase the likelihood of internal funding approval.

New challenges for IT in an hybrid/multi cloud

"IT needs to periodically look at where everything is deployed and make appropriate decisions such as removing zombie machines that aren’t being used, or move an application from one cloud to another"
