Perplexity just showed how to run trillion-parameter models on standard cloud infrastructure.
The bigger story?
Model access is normalizing.
The most important question for AI-first orgs to ask themselves isn't if they can build a smarter model, but if they can repeatably convert capability into customer value:
- A workflow that eliminates efforts
- A result the customer can measure
- Something customers will pay to keep
Renewal conversations will tell the answer.
