KEP Insight
|
|
What this developer has done is quietly important: instead of paying for one expensive AI system to do everything, they stitched together five smaller, cheaper models, each doing one job well. For an SME owner, this is the architecture worth watching, because it means you could run meaningful AI across your finance, customer service, or operations functions without a large cloud bill. The coordination challenge is real and still needs work, but the direction is clear. Specialised small models working in concert will likely become the practical path for businesses that need capability without enterprise-level spending.
