One fun benefit of spending so much time with enterprises is you get to see the array of AI implementation strategies that exist in companies right now.
Unlike the early innings of cloud where there were really only a couple deployment patterns available -including being limited by only a couple infra vendors existing- AI actually has a much wider range of approaches in the enterprise.
If you ask 10 IT leaders what their coding agent strategy looks like, you get at least 5 different answers. If you ask about their end-user productivity agents, some have standardized on ChatGPT or Claude, others offer a choice of multiple solutions, and many have built their own orchestration layers for employees to use any model.
For models, we know the big ones, but increasingly enterprises are experimenting with OSS models, or are at least immensely curious about OSS and would jump at the right offering that felt safe. And increasingly there’s a set of vertical models and agents that equally show up in enterprises for a range of tailored use-cases.
For accessing data, some enterprises just have agents take on the role of the user, and others are setting up agent users that have their own identities. Some companies are setting up substantial guardrails on what agents can do, and others are putting responsibility on the user.
Given this heterogeneity this early on at the start, it means we’re in for years of landscape changes. Anyone who’s predicting ultimate market outcomes already probably will be wrong as nothing has formally settled in yet. Lots of opportunity ahead. 150 34Both OpenAI and Anthropic have shared recent incidents where agents either escaped their sandboxes or were able to execute complex cyber exploit tasks. The ultimate takeaways from these incidents are about the power and capability of agents, and the need to harden systems and environments to prepare for agents.
There are tons of measures that enterprises must take to ensure that agents are only able to operate on the data they give it, the ability to have audit trails and governance of what agents can do, figure out what systems should remain deterministic vs. nondeterministic, get access controls under control, have the ability to quickly block and defend if an agent goes rogue, and much more.
Even in the happy path case with a good actor, if you give an agent a task like "find all of our most important IP on project Maven" it will gladly go out and execute that work -no matter how long- and find any resource relevant to the task. It might run into data with out of date access controls or reveal something that you shouldn't know about. Then, in the non-happy path case with a malicious actor the risk is clearly far worse.
In theory, you had to worry about this for people as well, but with AI the risks are inherently amplified. Agents will happily spend any amount of time on a task, don’t actually face any *real* risks by going rogue, and don’t have the inherent judgment (yet) that a person does that a task might make no sense. This means you need an all new way of managing data and protecting environments.
At Box, we’re helping prepare for this reality by building a number of new security and access control features for agents working on data, all building on our core platform of content security, governance, and compliance. And we’re working with enterprises to help prepare for what this new future will look like. Lots of work ahead for the entire industry, but wild times. 121 30If you were wondering how powerful AI is getting, OpenAI recently did an AI model test where its agent escaped out of its sandbox, found its way to the internet, discovered zero day security vulnerabilities along the way, and then broke into external systems (Hugging Face) - all in an attempt to complete its goal.
We’ve known these kind of capabilities are increasingly possible with AI models, but the theories are becoming real. As models get better at using and creating code, following goals, and can handle longer running tasks, this particular chaining of events is almost trivial (though scary).
Misaligned Agents will become increasingly capable of traversing systems and finding any loophole necessary to complete their task. This is going to be a big update for a lot of IT and Security teams, though, as it is going to require us to harden our systems rapidly to ensure we’re able to protect data and assets in this new agentic world.
Understanding where our most sensitive data lives, how’s it’s protected, what systems have access to it, and more, will become incredibly important. Ironically, one of the ways we’re going to defend against these new risks is equally by throwing compute (in the form of AI) at our codebases, networks, data environments, and other systems. You’re going to want vastly more AI on the side of defense as you do on the side of offense.
We’re entering a new era of what’s going to be possible with AI. Wild times ahead. 210 61Everything is framed as open models vs. closed models in a zero sum fashion. That’s the wrong framing. It’s an ecosystem of AI that gets used together and advances the industry and pushes the applied use-cases forward.
The amount of creativity that exists when you have competing approaches for what the future looks like drives the cycle of innovation that we’ve seen for all participants.
You get to have layers of the stack that emerge to post train models for highly specific purposes, which makes AI more useful in real world scenarios. Instead of waiting for just a few labs to go deep in a domain, you get dozens or hundreds of attempts at that vertical, like in finance, life sciences, legal, healthcare, and more.
You get to see variance in how to handle safety and cyber risks. Instead of just one approach, you get a peek into what happens advanced capabilities can be used to build better systems to are used to defend systems.
You get alternative approaches to training and building AI models. In more compute constrained environments, you develop more novel and efficient approaches to model training, which every other lab can learn from.
And you get different cost structures for different workloads. High end and orchestration tasks can go to the closed frontier models and specific workhorse tasks can be done more cheaply.
The reason why you want strong open weights models is because it pushes the entire AI industry forward. 112 45If you thought the value of the AI ecosystem was going to only accrue to a few companies, the past few months have represented a turning point in what the future of AI might look like.
It's clear that there's going to be incredible innovation and growth coming out of the frontier AI labs, and they will continue to push the limits of what model progress looks like. They have the scale of compute, large revenue streams and customer bases, incredible researchers, large data pipelines, and more, to continue to stay at the forefront.
And at the same time, there’s an amazing ecosystem starting to play out to diffuse AI into the real world, taking on a variety of approaches that build on top of these frontier models or offer alternative visions that can credibly work as well.
Here are just a few of the categories that seem to be working right now:
* There’s an ecosystem of companies that will help enterprises and applied AI companies develop their own models tuned for specific use cases, and run the inference for them. This can drive additional performance gains and cost effective approaches to getting AI into workloads across different domains.
* Applied AI companies that are delivering the end-user experience and business process tools necessary to actually driving enterprise adoption - including legal, IT, security, HR, customer support, coding, and more. These companies can work with any model and act as a routing layer, and deeply understand the enterprise workflow, can drive change management, actually get to the data necessary to work with, and more.
* New labs are emerging that go deep in particular domains that are either not the focus areas of frontier labs or require a deep level of vertical expertise to stay ahead. Life sciences, financial services, healthcare, and more all have labs that will be able to bring completely new approaches to large enterprises across the economy.
* There’s all new infrastructure emerging to run models and agents effectively, protect and govern how they operate, store and secure the data they work with, and help enterprises orchestrate their activities. Multiple layers of this stack all are being built up right now that will help drive enterprise adoption.
* New services firms that can actually drive the change management in enterprises necessary to the diffusion of AI. There will be hundreds or even thousands of new firms that emerge in lines of business or specific industries that can enable agents to be adopted.
I’m probably even missing a few categories, but this is what an incredible healthy technology ecosystem looks like.
Way too early to call the winning architectures, and in reality it’s going to be a heterogenous environment as all other tech markets have become. Very exciting. 211 60One of the biggest areas of excitement we hear from enterprises right now is the ability to turn their enterprise content into structured data with AI. Think about all of the value that's trapped inside of contracts, financial documents, research reports, HR records, and other information that hasn't been easily accessible until now.
For all of our structured data - the information living inside of CRM, ERP, or databases - have long been queryable and can be processed by computers, but we've never been able to do that for our unstructured data before. Now, with AI Agents, we can process our enterprise content and pull out the key data from this information at scale, and work with it just like structured data.
This is why we're very excited to work with Databricks to help transform what we can now do with the structured data that comes from our enterprise content. Now, by leveraging the Box MCP Server in Databricks, you can combine, connect, and query your structured data coming out of Box with any other data sources, like CRM, HR, ERP, product analytics, and other systems. Here are some examples of what this unlocks:
* Healthcare: Combine Box clinical records with CRM referrals and ERP billing to spot care gaps.
* Manufacturing: Merge Box specs and quality reports with ERP production data to trace defects and supplier risk.
* Financial services: Join Box loan documents with CRM and banking data to assess borrower and covenant risk.
* Retail: Combine Box merchandising files with CRM and ERP data to optimize promotions, inventory, and assortments.
This is just the beginning of a revolution of what we can now do with our enterprise content.

It’s a 2.8 trillion parameter model, with 1 million token context window, and it achieved state of the art performance levels on a variety of benchmarks. It’s truly wild that we’re getting this level of performance from open models.
Every time we lower the cost of frontier intelligence, the use-cases that enterprises can take on just go up. There’s a tremendous amount of workflows that enterprises would love to deploy that are only gated by the cost of tokens.
Importantly for the startup ecosystem, the combined breakthroughs from open and closed labs enable a ton of value to accrue to the layer, which can leverage a variety of models to complete full tasks for customers.
This diversity of models and approaches means that the applied AI layer can tune models to their workflows and route intelligence appropriately. This is a huge win for all. 470 94Very excited to partner with Databricks to bring structured data from content Box into their platform so you combine, query, and analyze key information from your documents.
This opens up a wide variety of use-cases across finance, life sciences, tech, or manufacturing, where you need to connect insights from content with other structured data sources like CRM, ERP, product analytics, and more.
