Most AI Strategy Documents Are Solving the Wrong Question

Most AI strategy documents written in 2026 fall into the same shape. There’s a maturity model, a list of tools, a vendor comparison, and a budget. The implicit question they answer: which AI platform should we standardize on?

The question is interesting. It is not the question that determines whether the strategy works.

The question that does—buried on slide 27 if it appears at all—is dependence. Specifically: how much of the company’s future capability is being routed through a single external provider, and what does the exit option look like if that provider raises prices, gets acquired, or drifts in capability?

Smaller, Specialized Models Are Better

In early 2023, Clément Delangue noticed a pattern in the new models being uploaded to Hugging Face’s platform. “What we’re seeing is that you need new models because they’re optimized for a specific domain. Smaller, more efficient, cheaper to run.”

By September 2024, he was more direct: “Contrary to the ‘one model to rule them all’ fallacy, smaller specialized models are better.”

This is a quiet but expensive observation. Most enterprise AI roadmaps in 2026 still center on the question, “Which frontier model do we standardize on?” The companies actually shipping AI in production aren’t asking that question. They’re asking the opposite one: which workflow needs its own model?

Why the Best AI Companies Are Open

In May 2022, a small company in Paris closed a Series C round valuing it at $2 billion. The product was free. Anyone could download it. Anyone could fork it. By August 2023, the same company raised another $235 million at a $4.5 billion valuation. By August 2024, it was profitable.

The company is Hugging Face. The product is open-source AI infrastructure. And the strategic principle behind its rise is one that most executives still get wrong.
