Eno Reyes (Factory): Sovereign Software Factories & Model Independence
Factory co-founder and CTO Eno Reyes explains how the company helps the largest enterprises build 'sovereign software factories', arguing the model is the most commodity layer and that model independence delivers the union of every lab's best performance at the best cost. He discusses gamed public benchmarks and Factory's internal evals, whether labs tactically withhold models ahead of IPOs, his take on xAI, and Factory's unique on-prem/air-gapped agent offering plus the people-side of AI transformation.
