Fantastic post. Thanks for breaking this down. I think the next unicorn will actually come from a company that can figure out how to help other companies 'retrofit' their use of AI...

The biggest bottleneck to AI Growth- even after product market fit - is the non product related requirements of the largest buyers - they don't adopt technology quickly as it's NOT about the product it's about how hard it is to Plan, Decide, Buy, Integrate, Adopt, etc all this and much more before they get any benefits

For sure it is, and all of those steps are so slow compared with the pace of AI development today. The lovable growth lead just posted on LinkedIn that the 'scaling' stage doesn’t exist (yet) for AI companies. The PMF itself is kinda ongoing and these startups keep fighting to stay on!

This analysis is gold. The infrastructure layer is where the real innovation is happening now. The push for model compression to solve edge deployment is a true evolution for the industry.
