The second half of AI profit distribution: who’s winning, who’s still undecided, and who’s about to be disrupted
Now’s AI and tomorrow’s AI
If we divide the AI industry chain into upstream equipment, midstream cloud providers, and large model companies, then the downstream is application companies. Currently, almost all the profits in the industry are concentrated in the upstream. For example, just Nvidia (NVDA.US) plus the four major storage manufacturers take nearly 70% of the industry’s profits.
This kind of profit distribution shows the typical characteristics of the early stage of a new technology revolution. But let’s think: in the future, the charging entry points for the AI industry won’t be cloud providers or downstream application companies—so will profit distribution still look like this?
Taking a mature internet industry as an example, the approximate proportions of economic profit distribution are:
