Nitzky: Enterprise Workflows Are Not Yet 90% Covered by Open Models

Osvald Nitzky expressed skepticism about the claim that 90% of enterprise workflows can be handled by open models, suggesting these calculations might overlook latent demand for complex tasks. He cited long-horizon tasks like automating procurement teams as examples of use cases not yet captured.

I'm not convinced that 90% of enterprise workflows can be handled by open models or frontier models right now.
Osvald Nitzky
We think that these calculations might be based off of existing demand or things that come top of mind when current modelers are thinking about models could do.
Osvald Nitzky
But there's a whole category of latent demand that people aren't even. These are things that people aren't even trying to do with models yet.
