Off-the-shelf LLMs look powerful, but enterprises keep running into the same wall. They don’t speak the language of real operations. Alex Karp says value only appears once you add a software layer that orchestrates models and translates them into how an organization actually works. Models alone don’t run businesses. The takeaway is subtle but important. The AI edge won’t come from choosing the “best” LLM, but from building the systems that make AI understandable, controllable, and useful inside the enterprise.
