"Three years ago... our success metric was OTIF. Andtoday it's the in-stock. It was a metric known by probably one or two people - I didn't know about it. And today we had our monthly tissue sector reunion, and we mentioned that our in-stock improved by 2%. Everybody was applauding. It's the first time anybody applauded for in-stock results." -- Xavier Duprat, VP, Supply Chain Planning & Fulfillment, Cascades.

Every enterprise leader is chasing their first AI win - but almost nobody is asking what it costs to run that win at scale, every day, forever.

On this episode of The Enterprise Edge podcast, Red Hat Chief Product Officer, Ashesh Badani joins us a month removed from Red Hat Summit 2026 in Atlanta to make the case that "token economics" isn't a buzzword - it's the next architectural decision CIOs can't afford to make too late.

Badani, who watched Sun Microsystems lose its biggest bet to the very open-source wave Red Hat later rode to the top, brings two decades of pattern recognition to a conversation that ranges from...

-- why Red Hat acquired Neural Magic and bet on vLLM for inference efficiency...

-- to the honest tradeoffs between proprietary frontier models and open infrastructure...

-- to the one question from a customer that still catches him off guard.

It's a rare, unscripted look at how the company that helped define open source for the last era is now trying to define what governable, economically sustainable AI looks like for this one - straight from the product chief writing the playbook.

“If you build enough confidence that you say, 99% of the time, this is right - and you want to say, let's just have it go automatically - that's the goal. People will build that trust over time and you will become more autonomous...” -- Joel Beal, CEO & Co-Founder at Alloy.ai.
