Enterprise Tech with Fexingo · 2026-07-18 · 13 min
Episode 118 of Enterprise Tech with Fexingo dives into a new clause appearing in Fortune 500 software contracts: the right to test, benchmark, and audit a vendor's AI model outputs before deployment. Lucas explains how companies like JPMorgan and Walmart are writing 'model output accuracy guarantees' and 'hallucination rate caps' into enterprise agreements, and why traditional performance guarantees don't cover AI. Luna challenges whether these tests can keep pace with model updates. Specific numbers: a 2025 Gartner survey found 68% of large enterprises now require independent AI model output testing before go-live, up from 22% in 2023. The episode covers the tension between vendors who treat AI as a 'black box' and customers who demand verifiable output quality, and how procurement teams are using structured output benchmarks to force transparency. #AI #EnterpriseSoftware #Fortune500 #VendorManagement #ModelOutputTesting #HallucinationCaps #Procurement #BusinessTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechPodcast #SoftwareContracts #JPMorgan #Walmart #Gartner #AIRegulation #Benchmarking Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
