/ 02 — Why now

The economics have flipped.

Small, owned models now match frontier quality on vertical tasks — for a fraction of the per‑request bill. The architecture has to follow.

60×
Cheaper per request, at parity quality on specialized workflows.
COST × QUALITY · 2025 BENCHMARK
$100B+
Vertical AI market by 2032 — 10× larger than legacy SaaS.
