But usually companies are much more careful before even spending that half a million. (And most companies don't have that money sitting around.) They would do small PoCs, do comprehensive benchmarks and evaluations of those PoCs, and decide whether to actually go ahead, and, more importantly, stick to it.

Being able to afford half a million doesn't mean you do it on a whim, or just throw all of that away if things don't go well.

But what do I know. I am nothing compared to our AI overlords like Anthropic.

Perfect, $1mil in salaries to spare the company $500k in spend :)

  • You seem to have some sort of misunderstanding of what PoC means or how it works.

    Nobody is spending $1mil in salary on this kind of PoCs.

    And I guess the word "small" is really difficult to grasp.
