Providers tracked
Vendors and model labs we track when announcements affect enterprise buying decisions. Each profile links to named leaders on record, related investigations, and the amount of buyer-side evidence visible so far.
-
Anthropic
Frontier model lab. Tracked for enterprise alliance announcements (PwC, KPMG) and model release economics (Opus 4.x) that feed adoption-value-gap analysis.
-
Databricks
Data and AI platform. Tracked for workload-level benchmarks on frontier models that feed cost-to-serve reads.
-
Glean
Enterprise search and assistant vendor. Tracked from pre-Phase-2 lead on budget-cutting through a present-value lens. No named leader captured yet; promote to first-class story when a buyer endorsement with named procurement leader surfaces.
-
Microsoft
Hyperscale cloud and AI platform vendor. Tracked from the editor's inside vantage point through July 2, 2026, then from public record only.
-
NomadGo
Computer-vision inventory vendor. Tablet-mounted cameras plus LiDAR for shelf counting. Tracked because of the rare cleanly-observed buyer abandonment at Starbucks.
-
OpenAI
Frontier model lab. Tracked for buyer-evidence quality in its enterprise partnerships and for governance and evaluation publications that shape procurement criteria.
-
PwC
Professional services firm. Both a buyer (its own CFO function on OpenAI) and a distributor of frontier AI to clients (Anthropic alliance, OpenAI collaboration). Tracked across both sides because the buyer evidence and the distribution evidence live in the same announcements.
