🧬 AI Business Models: A race to the bottom

The Buzz: The CEO of Cohere, has sparked a conversation about the evolving economics of AI. He points out that the traditional model of selling access to AI models is rapidly becoming unsustainable due to aggressive price competition, likening it to a "zero margin business."

🔑 Key Points:

  • Price Wars: Major players like OpenAI and Google are engaging in price wars, driving down the margins to ‘almost zero’.

  • High Costs: The development and training of AI models require substantial investment, with costs primarily in compute power, making the low-margin model precarious.

  • Revenue Rethink: Gomez suggests that companies might need to pivot towards alternative revenue streams or product offerings to maintain profitability.

💡 Analysis: The AI industry's business model is at a crossroads. While the technology's capabilities continue to advance, the financial model supporting these innovations is under strain. Companies are now exploring new avenues for monetization, possibly integrating AI more deeply into existing products or creating entirely new services that leverage AI in ways not yet fully explored. This shift could redefine how AI companies operate and generate revenue, moving away from just selling model access to embedding AI as a core component in broader solutions.
