Most institutions think they bought a capability when they adopted AI. They took on a dependency. If the model is closed and hosted somewhere else, it runs on infrastructure you cannot see, owned by a company that does not answer to you, under a jurisdiction that is not yours. The API is the part you touch. The dependency is the part you inherited. For a consumer app, fine. For a bank’s credit decisions or a tax authority’s enforcement, that is a structural problem no benchmark fixes. I wrote about why provenance, not capability, is the first question a serious institution should ask about AI.
