F5’s announcement to acquire CalypsoAI builds towards TRiSM framework

The AI market is evolving at an unprecedented pace, with foundational large language models (LLMs) and specialized small language models (SLMs) proliferating across industries. Organizations that try to fall back on traditional tools in this shifting environment risk coming up short in their ability to scale, maintain a level of flexibility, and contain costs.

As Gartner states, "Enterprises must retain independence from any single AI model or hosting provider to ensure scalability, flexibility, cost control and trust, as AI markets rapidly mature and change."¹

We agree with the importance of retaining independence from any single AI model or hosting provider, citing the need for flexibility and trust as AI capabilities continue to expand across new use cases.

F5 is responding directly to this dynamic landscape by incorporating CalypsoAI's real-time security inspection and risk scoring for any model, regardless of where it comes from. Enterprises leveraging F5 ADSP, augmented by CalypsoAI's solutions, can confidently adopt diverse AI tools while maintaining governance over their models and applications. This independence alleviates reliance on specific AI providers and future-proofs AI implementations for scalable success.
