The AI market is entering a new phase.
2023: "Who has the biggest model?"
2024: "Who has the best benchmark?"
2025: "Who has the lowest cost?"
2026: "Who can actually replace hours of real work?"
Open models are closing the quality gap, inference costs keep falling, and every major lab is racing to build AI agents that people rely on daily.
The next trillion-dollar company probably won't be the one with the smartest model.
It'll be the one that becomes impossible to stop using.
What's your prediction for the next 12 months:
AI agents become mainstream.
Open source catches up completely.
Hardware becomes the biggest bottleneck.
Something nobody sees coming.
Most people blame the algorithm.
The algorithm is usually just a mirror.
