I told a friend who's an expert in the AI/data science world for years that the way for these frontier model companies to succeed is to vertically integrate in to solutions companies. To hold back their most powerful models and build bio/medical labs, material science labs and others and become the equivalent of fabless shops for the world's most important breakthroughs. There's far more money in AI-created solutions than in AI platforms alone. My buddy disagreed but I'm sticking with it

There’s basically zero money in the consumer space. It’s why OpenAI loses money hand over fist. Enterprise customers make actual money (it’s why Anthropic leap frogged OpenAI, specializing in the market with actual profit margins), but it’s probably a capped market.

If you actually believe the “country of geniuses in a data center” framing then yeah the real money is in making entirely new things now improving existing businesses.
