This is not a viable strategy. You're effectively paying for hardware and/or cloud. Why do this when OpenAI and Anthropic are both significantly subsidizing costs to win the market?

Talk to “AI” executives at large firms and 95% of them are clueless sales types that crawled their way to the top. Then again, it is basically a repeat of IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, etc. Same dumb executives making decision to not get fired and enjoy their place at corp.

The "AI" executives at large firms are mostly product folks with engineering backgrounds, not sales, which should make us even more worried.
