Small Reasoning Models and Edge Inference: Slashing Enterprise Token Budgets and Latency

Routing every internal request to massive frontier models is an expensive antipattern. By deploying Small Reasoning Models (SLMs) and edge inference via Cloudflare Workers AI and local models, enterprise systems can handle 80% of classification, triage, and grounding checks with sub-100ms latency and minimal cost.

MCP Tools in Enterprise .NET: Enforcing Boundaries, Tenant Isolation, and Human Confirmation

Connecting an LLM agent to ERP APIs through the Model Context Protocol is deceptively easy. Keeping the agent from posting unauthorized general ledger entries or leaking cross-tenant data requires strict tool boundaries, claims propagation, and human-in-the-loop workflows.
