Four Hands. Condition: Used.
News of the day: a global AI company is widening its Korean reseller and system integrator channels to accelerate its B2B push. A reseller buys someone else’s product and sells it on. An SI takes an order and stitches several products into one system. In between sits the AI MSP, the managed service provider that runs the operation and the billing. In other words, the AI you order does not arrive at your desk directly. It makes the trip through several pairs of hands. This strip follows what shape the AI ends up in after being passed around, and which shelf of the library it lands on.

What this means for ThakiCloud
The longer the channel, the more meters stand on top of it. ThakiCloud’s sovereign on-prem setup takes the other road. The AI does not pass through hands. The model is installed in the company’s own server room, and Paxis’s agents and Metis’s inference run right there. The data never leaves the building, and the meter belongs to us. The shortest route an AI can take is the one that goes straight to your own shelf. The ThakiCloud team runs its own work the same way. The agent that picked today’s news and wrote this script sits in the server room next door, so it skips the channel and goes straight to the shelf.
