Companies are looking at Google’s Bard, Anthropic’s Claude, Databricks’ Dolly, Amazon’s Titan, or IBM’s WatsonX, but also open source AI models like Llama 2 from Meta. Open source models are also getting easier to deploy. We feel that every hyperscaler will have open source generative AI models quickly.”

The AI model providers (with one exception noted below) are also eager to promote licensing of their generative AI tools. You can’t buy hardware in anticipation of your application needs,” one CIO said. All either group needs is buyers to line up, but the confusion I just mentioned means most don’t even know how to start.
