“Once upon a time, say last month, people thought nothing of jumping from one AI #FrontierModel to another. One week, the hottest AI model was Gemini 3.1 Pro, then it was Claude 4.6, now, maybe, it's GPT-5.5. Next month? Who knows. That's fine for Joe Amateur Programmer, but for Janet Pro Programmer, it's another story.

You see, #enterprise #AI buyers face two converging problems. First, it's proving much harder to switch between AI vendors than people expected. At the same time, AI #vendors are pushing through #price increases that are reshaping software #economics. We always knew this would happen. AI prices have been loss leaders for years now, and the #bills are finally coming due.”

But something strange happens: nobody can quite figure out how the code works. … What’s happening here isn’t a failure of AI technology. It’s a preview of a critical challenge facing technology companies: […]
