Rauch and Saravia urge users and businesses to own their AI harness and models
Overview
Vercel founder Guillermo Rauch says on X that people should own their intelligence and that local models need to keep proliferating.
He says the largest models may not yet run locally, so users should keep their options open by owning their harness, data, connections, runtime, and agents, and by embracing open source.
Elvis Saravia says on X that businesses should start owning their intelligence stack with the harness and evals, because open models are costly to run and tune. He says a self-built harness gives optionality and shows which layer to invest in next, and he presents open source as how businesses survive in the age of intelligence.
