MIT Technology Review AI describes a change in focus in corporate AI: competitive advantage, according to the material, is less tied to choosing a specific model and more to what the company builds around it.
The publication notes that in recent years, discussions of AI largely concentrated on the capabilities of models: their size, reasoning, context length, and test results.
The practical makeup of the mentioned “serving harness” and examples of its implementation in the available fragment are not provided. Therefore, at this time it is not possible to assess which technologies or organizational decisions the author considers most important.
editorial commentary

The next observed signal will be specific examples of such systems and comparable results of their operation. Substantial uncertainty remains: the provided synopsis does not reveal the composition of the approach, its cost, or practical effectiveness.
