The line that landed: "Portability that reaches only where one vendor's platform reaches is just lock-in with better marketing."
True for context definitions. Also true for the inference path. Most teams will solve the definition layer and still have the model reading those definitions run through a centralized API. The context is portable. The learning loop isn't. Every correction the agent makes based on your governed definitions accrues to the platform, not to you.
The guy calling long is also watching for when the platform that holds your agents' learned behavior changes its pricing.
This is so true. Infra and canonicalization isn’t the most sexy but it is the part that will bite companies if they shortcut it with all these individual rollouts.
Great read!!!
