How do we prevent recurrence of major IT outages like the recent Microsoft-Crowdstrike outage that's fresh out in everybody's mind? Retrospection is essential to put in place preventive measures to ensure system reliability to make the infrastructure service solutions more resilient. Public company boards of enterprise infrastructure services providers are also equally responsible & accountable to balance growth with meeting stringent SLAs like zero downtime. Board composition of public limited companies needs to have a fine balance of investors, management professionals and top techies with appropriate voting/vetoing rights. It just shouldn't always be a number chasing game. Providing a high availability stable platform with zero downtime should be the objective of a global enterprise infrastructure services provider as several businesses worldwide are dependent on their services. I seriously believe a law needs to be enacted/implemented to oversee fair board composition with regulatory oversight.

There's a myth floating around that open-source LLMs are "free". True, you don't pay a licensing fee but building applications with them can actually be more expensive. The catch? Running an open-source LLM requires you to set up and maintain your own computational infrastructure, which can be quite costly. It also needs more technical expertise. Commercial LLMs work differently. They often charge per use. Instead of a flat fee, you pay based on how much you use the model, like per 1K tokens processed. This can be more cost-effective if you don't need the model all the time. However, there are other good reasons for using open-source LLMs such as greater control and confidentiality of the data.
