Part 13/15:
The industry will likely bifurcate: hardware manufacturers like Nvidia, TSMC, and Qualcomm will supply chips; cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud will serve as the utilities offering managed open-source models; and enterprises will build custom AI solutions on open-source platforms like Llama and Mistral, which they can fully control and fine-tune.
This decentralization diminishes the need for monopolistic giants and makes AI more accessible, affordable, and adaptable. In this ecosystem, closed platforms and large AI labs lose influence; instead, the focus shifts to hardware, infrastructure, and vertical-specific AI integrations.
