Adaptation: The Missing Layer Between Apps and Foundation Models

from The Data Exchange with Ben Lorica · host Ben Lorica

Ben Lorica talks with Sudip Roy (Co-founder & CTO, Adaption Labs) about why enterprise AI adoption stalls in the “last 5%” of reliability — and why waiting for the next frontier model release is usually the wrong bet.
