Google brings Gemini behind the firewall, Citi moves wealth-advisor assistants from pilot toward production, Salesforce doubles paying customers for agentic AI, and Dell-HPE cannot ship AI servers fast enough. Then we build the AI Control Plane: route the right model to the right venue, keep identity and data at home, prove provenance, set spend guardrails, and fail over on triggers. You get a two-week plan with three deliverables - a capacity reservation quote, a proximity architecture, and a reversibility clause - so access becomes advantage without losing control.
