Open-weight AI puts enterprise control in the spotlight. Mike Vizard joins Jack Poller, Jon Swartz and Jeff Reich to examine model access, agent readiness and Anthropic’s conduct rules for Claude. Each topic asks where technical possibility meets operational responsibility.
Open-weight AI expands the choices, but access alone does not establish readiness. Buyers need measurable costs, dependable operations and clear policies. Use the linked reporting to compare each proposal with your organization’s requirements.
Host: Mike Vizard. Guests: Jack Poller, Jon Swartz and Jeff Reich.
Recorded October 9, 2026.
