In this episode, Robert Loft and Haley Hanson explore Inflection AI’s pivot from developing cutting-edge AI models to focusing on enterprise solutions. Formerly a rising star in the AI race, Inflection has shifted gears following Microsoft’s partial acquisition and a $650M team hire.

We dive into:

Inflection’s new CEO Sean White on why competing in frontier AI no longer makes sense.
The company’s acquisition spree, including Jelled.AI and BoostKPI, to enhance enterprise offerings.
The growing tension between on-premise AI tools and cloud-reliant solutions.

What does this shift mean for the future of enterprise AI, and can Inflection still compete with giants like Salesforce and Anthropic? Tune in as we unpack the dynamics reshaping the industry.
