## Summary

Cloudera is positioning itself as an anywhere cloud for AI, emphasizing on-premises infrastructure, sovereign clouds and the ability to move workloads between them, according to SiliconANGLE's Paul Gillin. Gillin says open-weight models grew from about 20% of token use two years ago to more than 80% today, and Cloudera is adding agentic workflows built to manage data and optimize GPU capacity. He says CIOs will want clarity on how agents are controlled, what audit trails they leave and how their decisions can be documented for regulators.
