How do you work with HYPERSCALERS AND CLOUD PROVIDERS?

The big cloud providers are investing heavily into AI. It is one of the best opportunities they see to capture more enterprise data and use their purchasing power for hardware and even things like power (energy) to achieve incredible cost efficiencies.

We are the ideal partner to work with you and the large cloud providers of your choice. We can work with any of the major providers and provide you with the best of both worlds. You get the scale and efficiency of the large cloud providers and the privacy and security and option to maintain your own systems. By adding tne.ai into the mix you get:

Efficiency and Cost Savings. The large cloud providers are already are low cost, but we let you pick and choose between multiple providers in a secure and seamless way.

Ability to run your AI workloads locally on your PC or mobile phones. While there is great value to these large models that require data center hardware costing $100Ms of dollars, for many businesses, with the right “Small Agent” technology you can run much of your workloads on hardware that you already own. That’s cheaper, safer and more private.

Keeping your Data and your Users Information in your firewall. You can consider deploying systems that give you the choice as to what providers to use and where you can worry about securing information that is most vital to you.

Future cost control and peace of mind. Certainly, no one likes being locked into a small collection of providers that can dictate their own prices, so having the open to use open source models and deploy where you want provides you with long term assurances of cost management and choice.

How do you work with ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE VENDORS?

These are a logical choice for building Enterprise applications and they have served organizations well for many years. We are the ideal partner for you and your existing enterprise software systems. We give you the best of both worlds. The deep integration and knowledge of these vendors plus cutting edge practical AI that works all of your vendors.

The main issue is that AI brings many new opportunities to move beyond the traditional data silos that different modules have created. You should consider if this is an opportunity to build a integration layer that is above the level of these vendors so you can continue to partner with them and get:

Vendor Independent Integration Layer. The ability to pick and choose amongst vendors and also to easily integrate new systems when there’ an acquisition and you end up with multiple systems. You don’t need to re-integrate; you can keep the systems running without having to make major disruptive changes.

Creating new Recommendations that cut across your installed systems. Instead of having to merge everything into a single Datalake or warehouse, have the information dynamically pulled easily and on an as-needed basis. Get on board fast with an AI-native interface. Instead of adding on to an already complicated interface, you can use a system that is naive AI from the ground-up. These means less training for new and old people alike.

How do you work with STARTUPS?

There has been massive investment in new AI startups that are moving quickly to build the tools and infrastructure that help you get started fast. These are amazing organizations focused on “moving fast and breaking things.” to get customer traction and to achieve early design wins and lock in from enterprise customers.

It’s a dizzying and confusing world, but working with us you will get the best of enterprise stability and the latest startup innovations. We are constantly evaluating and learning about the latest research and the newest startups. Our Technology council includes some of the brightest technology and business minds.

There are over 10,000 new research papers and 100s of AI startups arriving every month, we look over the industry so you don’t have ot.

Insulate yourself from the fast changing technology shift. These companies move so fast that six months is considered a long product cycle. So that just when you are getting started, you have to start all over with a rewrite. A good solution here is to work with a vendor like TNE who has the wisdom to pick the best technology wave and not “every” technology wave. We will get you on a stable technology base quickly. There are many tricks to insulate yourself from companies that are moving fast yet also derive value from them as well. For instance, you might consider a vendor who puts in detailed safety checks, so you can use the most advanced technology with limited downside. Simple things like hallucination control or revision management are things that are time consuming for a fast moving startup to worry about when they are “growth hacking” there way to millions of users.

How do you work with the new AI heavyweights?

There are multiple exciting new providers that are focused on the AI wave that are offering innovative products and opportunities for you to advance quickly.

We are the ideal partner to make sure that you get the very best from these new companies with the peace of mind that you are not tied to their solutions only and you are constantly getting the very best in the state of the art no matter where it comes from.

So, you might want to consider augmenting these choices with systems that provide you with more flexibility where you use their models and at the same time have the option to run:

Optimization of ChatGPT, Claude and other models. The world is changing all the time and working with us, you know that you will be getting the very best in technology.

Moving to open source models that are not owned by anyone. As with previous revolutions, the open source community provides an alternative to closed systems. There are already 1M open source Large Language Models available and that figure is growing 20% every quarter. This means there is so much more choice for you and options to manage your costs.

Augmenting those models to local computation that you control. These models can run on everything from mobile phones to PCs to commodity servers and there is a rich community of hyperscalers and startups that will provide this service. This reduces the lock-in for the future and provides you with more control.

Managing data privacy. While all these vendors have made commitments to data privacy and security, the data is still living on their servers. Having an option where the data is where you can see and control it means more piece of mind for you.

Enterprise application understanding. While these organizations have amazing technical resources, often times they do not have the “grey hair” and experience that comes from building mission-critical systems for decades.
