In the race to adopt and integrate AI, organizations are rapidly building custom capabilities on top of foundation models like GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, and more. From fine-tuning and reinforcement learning to human feedback loops, these enhancements transform generic models into powerful, business-specific tools.
But here’s the catch: what happens when your model provider changes the rules—or disappears entirely?
This risk is no longer hypothetical. Take Windsurf, a fast-rising AI coding startup. Despite being a paying customer, Windsurf was blindsided when Anthropic abruptly cut off their direct access to Claude 3.5 and 3.7 with minimal notice. This caused immediate disruption, forced them into costly workarounds, and impacted their ability to serve customers—all while preparing for a major acquisition.
Stories like this are a wake-up call – many more have untold stories like this have caused huge disruption to new and growing AI companies and companies embedding AI into their business applications. Companies building their future on third-party models must retain ownership of their fine-tuning, reinforcement data, and custom configurations. Without that, your AI roadmap is at the mercy of another company’s decisions.
That’s why we built ZeroTrusted.ai to be model-agnostic from day one. Our platform allows you to switch models seamlessly without losing the value of your previous work. Whether you’re using GPT, Claude, or your own internal models, we capture:
- Fine-tuning logs and checkpoints
- Prompt feedback and scoring
- Reinforcement learning metadata
- Deployment configs and AI agent interactions
Even our AI Judge and scoring mechanisms can run independently or in tandem with any model—because we believe you shouldn’t have to trust our AI either. In fact, many of our customers use ZeroTrusted.ai to evaluate and compare outputs across multiple models, ensuring reliability, accuracy, and alignment, especially in high-stakes industries like healthcare, defense, and finance.
As global AI regulations tighten and regional conflicts shape tech access, your ability to move between models—and retain your institutional knowledge—will become mission-critical.
At ZeroTrusted.ai, your data stays:
- Portable
- Auditable
- Secure
- Yours
Your team’s effort, insight, and expertise are too valuable to lose. Don’t let your AI learn for someone else—or vanish with a provider’s business model. With ZeroTrusted.ai, you don’t just use AI—you govern it, scale it, and own it.
