Architect a fast-follower AI strategy without a research team
Tests asymmetric advantage without a research lab. Strong answers propose a model-agnostic gateway, buy commoditized inference, build proprietary data loops only, and use open-source for control.
Tests how you architect asymmetric advantage against a deep-research competitor when you have no internal lab. A strong answer acknowledges the fast-follower paradox: AI moats compound through data and org learning, making passive delay fatal. It proposes a model-agnostic gateway to swap APIs, open-source weights, and fine-tuned variants within days; buying commoditized inference, building proprietary feedback loops only, and using open-source for customization and egress control.
