Rent the intelligence. Own the context.

Why your business context should live with you, not inside someone else's model.

Every few months the best model changes. The context of your business — what you sell, who your customers are, what "normal" looks like in your numbers — does not.

OpenNeko is built around that split. The intelligence is rented: you point it at whichever frontier model you like, and swap it out when a better one ships. The context is owned: your data, your schemas, your rules stay on your infrastructure.

Why this matters

When the context lives with you:

  • Switching models is a config change, not a migration.
  • Your data never has to leave your systems to be useful.
  • The answers improve as your context deepens, not as a vendor's moat does.
intelligence  → rented, swappable, always the best available
context       → owned, accumulating, yours

This is the first post on this blog. We'll use it to write about how OpenNeko is built, what we learn from operators using it, and where the context-ownership model goes next.
