on… Anthropic and OpenAI’s Share of AI Startup Revenues Rises to 89%
The key question is weather profit concentration follows the same pattern as this revenue concentration. Apple, Microsoft and Google all has declining margin cost, so scale drove profit concentration. I assume this will occur in these market, but this hasn't yet been the case (likely token price increases by OpenAI and Anthropic next year post IPO will help).
