Cloudera bets on AI workload portability over agents in enterprise AI

At EVOLVE26, Cloudera positioned itself as an "anywhere cloud" for AI, emphasizing portability of models and data across clouds and on-premises infrastructure rather than general-purpose agents. Open-weight models have grown from about 20% of token use two years ago to more than 80% today, according to the company.

• Cloudera pushes AI model portability across clouds and on-prem
• Open-weight model token share rose from ~20% to 80%+ in two years
• Cloudera agents focus on data management and GPU optimization
• CIOs demand agent controls, audit trails and documented decisions
