Sifted, the leading European startup publication backed by the Financial Times, sat down with Adaptive CEO Julien Launay for an in-depth interview on why enterprises must take ownership of their AI strategies. Launay makes the case that off-the-shelf, closed-source AI tools are not built for scalable enterprise production and that the real path forward lies in building specialized models from open-source foundations. The interview covers the growing trend of enterprises moving toward purpose-built solutions that offer frontier performance, significant cost reductions, and full control over data and infrastructure.
