Open-Source: Cutting Costs and Keeping Control of Your Data
- Open-source models are closing on closed frontier models, making near-frontier capability runnable on your own infrastructure.
- Sovereign full-stack infrastructure gives organizations control over data access and how models operate.
- A hybrid split — frontier models for 10–20% of workloads, open models on private infrastructure for the rest — improves both governance and tokenomics.
Abstract
Debo Dutta, Chief AI Officer at Nutanix, discusses three major trends reshaping AI: open-source models approaching frontier capabilities, sovereign full-stack infrastructure, and tokenomics optimization. He advocates for a hybrid approach where organizations use expensive frontier models for 10-20% of workloads while running most agentic work on private infrastructure with open models, achieving better governance and cost efficiency.
