    Open-Weight AI: Control, Infrastructure, and Licensing Shifts

    This analysis explores the transition of open-weight models to critical enterprise infrastructure, driven by the need for control over guardrails and latency. VLLM emerges as the essential inference engine bridging models and hardware, while licensing models evolve to sustain R&D. Capability parity between open and closed models shifts competitive focus to environment design and distribution strategies.
