What happens if your AI what happens when a provider restricts access doubles its prices? Or restricts a model? Or access suddenly stops being available? For companies that have integrated AI into critical processes, this isn't a theoretical scenario.
What is vendor lock-in with AI?
Vendor lock-in happens when a company becomes so dependent on one provider that switching would carry high costs or risks. With AI, this happens when all workflows are built around a single model, prompts are provider-specific, and no alternative can be deployed immediately.
The multi-LLM strategy
A multi-LLM strategy means a company uses several AI models in parallel, or can flexibly switch between them:
- GPT-4 for complex text generation
- Claude for document analysis
- Local open-source models for sensitive data
- Specialized models for industry-specific use cases
What multi-LLM requires
A genuine multi-LLM strategy needs a platform that integrates different models without having to build new integrations every time. The platform abstracts the model layer – users always work with the same interface.
