SHOW NOTES:

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us a bit about your background and where you focus today at Nasuni

Topic 2 - We’ve spent two years talking about models. Are we finally entering the era where the biggest differentiator is data quality rather than model quality?

Topic 3 - When customers inventory their AI-ready data, what surprises them most?

Topic 4 - Where is the intersection of file data, metadata, and RAG systems that augment a company’s AI experience with their own data?

Topic 5 - People talk about AI governance, but isn’t most AI governance actually data governance?

Topic 6 - Are today’s enterprise file systems designed for machine consumers (AI Agents) instead of human consumers?

Topic 7 - What are the economics of data, in your world, as it relates to AI?

Topic 8 - What’s next for enterprise file platforms?

SHOW NOTES:

• Palantir and NVIDIA partnership (June 2026) - first 11 minutes
• Palantir CEO (Alex Karp) on CNBC
• “The VPC Privacy Illusion - Why Private LLMs still expose your data”
• The biggest mistake organizations make isn’t choosing the right model, it’s focusing on models at all (via LinkedIn)

1. There’s a level of unhappiness and distrust of the frontier labs from CEOs
2. There needs to be an application layer on top of LLMs (e.g. “harness”, Palantir Ontology)
3. This application layer prevents the LLMs from learning your business from your data
4. “Alpha” is business differentiation (ability to outperform the market)
5. He questions why the frontier model labs are charging by tokens and not outcomes (questions the entire AI business model)
6. He questions “the true cost” of AI outputs 
7. He claims that CEOs are now concerned about frontier labs entering the business of the customers - brings up an interesting misunderstanding of how interacting with LLMs works (“we’re safe, it’s deployed in our VPC”)

SHOW NOTES:

THESIS: After spending time with a number of Enterprise companies, what are a list of challenges and concerns they still have in implementing GenAI across a broad set of use-cases within the Financial Services industry?

1. Everybody started with what was available (e.g. CoPilot)
2. Enterprise implementations (now) aren’t autonomous
3. Rising costs are the looming concern
4. Governance is a rising concern
5. Measurements of improvement are available, but varied
6. Explaining measurements is complicated
7. Explaining trust is more complicated
8. Use-cases are fragmented, but there if you apply the technology, but not always obvious
9. De-centralized (shadow AI) to Centralized to De-centralized (semi-controlled) 
10. The learning curves are very asymmetrical across teams
11. Not everyone has access to Mythos or GPT-5.5-Cyber (yet)

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show, tell us a bit about your background and what you focus on these days.

Topic 2 - Let’s talk about the role of Forward Deployed Engineer, it’s being talked about a lot, but you’re living in that world now. What problems are FDEs usually tasked with trying to solve, or new things to implement?

Topic 3 - We’ve seen other roles (DevOps, PlatformEng, etc.) that evolved from other roles or skills. What type of background lends itself to success in FDE? What skills are needed going forward?

Topic 4 - You’re also working on some AI harness implementations. What can you tell us about those challenges and the technologies behind the harness?

Topic 5 - At what point does an AI harness make sense for a company? What types of AI challenges typically require those next steps? 

Topic 6 - Working in the middle of this evolving AI space, what are some perspectives you’ve gained over the last 6-12 months? What do you wish you knew ahead of time?

• The AI layoff wave is becoming a powder keg
• Professors says AI-related job losses are inevitable

THESIS: On this Father’s Day, with an AI market that often times doesn’t make any sense, I thought about the type of advice that my father gave me over the years and how it would apply to this time of significant change.  

• Show up, keep up and shut up
• Make yourself invaluable
• Focus on what you can control
• Be an expert in something
• When in doubt, get closer to people and how money is made
• When things don’t make sense, focus on fundamentals
• Markets can be irrational way longer than you can be solvent
• Try and think a couple steps ahead

• Systems of Record Won the SaaS Era - Clearinghouses Will Win the Agents Era
• Harness Engineering is where Enterprise AI becomes real

THESIS: It comes up as different control points, but CIOs are ultimately trying to figure out how to get the value from Enterprise AI while delivering a set of consistency across different teams and use-cases. Let’s explore what this “Enterprise Harness” is starting to look like.

• Enterprise Intelligence (a.k.a. Middleware)
• Enterprise Catalog - Models as a Service, Agents as a Service
• Enterprise Skills or Shareable Prompt Harnesses

SHOW SPONSORS:

• OutShift by Cisco - “Scaling Out Superintelligence”  The Internet of Cognition architecture

SHOW NOTES:

THESIS: Between pending IPOs (Wall St. demands), high user-demand, GPU/TPU shortages, Data Center shortages, Model prices increasing (open models fading away), the cost of using AI is going to get more expensive over time. Should CIOs start thinking about a Backup plan to their current AI adoption that has lower cost alternatives?

Topic 1 - Assuming you could get access to GPUs/TPUs/Accelerators, and suitable data center space to host them, what would be your thinking as a CIO if you felt like you needed to own some aspect of your AI roadmap/journey? 

Topic 2 - Assuming the normal “Shadow AI” backlash that you’d receive for offering something that wasn’t “frontier” level, how would you go about trying to communicate that within your organization?

Topic 3 - What metrics or KPIs would you initially target to try and get buy-in that your approach was acceptable and moving towards the company goals?
