It's highlighted in this article briefly, particularly the section about integration: One cannot win the AI product arms race without a core solution to a real problem. This is why most "winners" currently, are either the ones with dominant control over access to AI (those who rent out hardware to use expensive AI, access to easy to use AI - basically google and microsoft for both categories lol). The next winners are those who control access to integral data needed for AI to be useful in that niche. Everyone else is running around with a hammer, desperately looking for a 2x4. Applying it anywhere and everywhere hoping it does something, but I reckon for most of them if they were to do a cost analysis in the next ~5 years they'll have noticed how costly it was and how little it changed for their core solution. The heavy hitters and potential big winners (outside of the above noted gatekeepers) are still yet to come thankfully.

Once the gold rush has hit the newspapers, don't go digging for gold. Sell shovels instead.

SpaceX has implemented last minute control of rocket launches and they land the booster rocket. Hard to see google and microsoft anywhere close to Tesla, Starlink, Twitter for AI potential even if you deliberately elide to mention SpaceX.

I’m playing with the little models at home on a local GPU. So far I’ve fine tuned one and gotten some of the better ones (WizardVicuna) to work as a complete drop-in for a use case I was testing with OpenAI. The surprising thing to me was, at least for my fairly simplistic requirements (Parsing an API and making decisions) it’s actually responding with less latency than the OpenAI API and the same degree of accuracy. I think we are rapidly approaching the proliferation of good, local models. 99% of “AI” does not need a fleet of thousands of A100s.
