Deep dives

Consolidation in the LLM Market

The landscape of large language models (LLMs) is showing signs of increasing consolidation as smaller companies either merge with or get acquired by larger enterprises. Major firms like AWS, Amazon, and Microsoft are investing billions into these consolidating companies, creating significant financial barriers for smaller players trying to compete. This investment trend underscores a shift in the nature of competition, where only those with access to substantial capital can develop the next generation of models. As the market progresses, understanding potential partnerships and the role of newer entities will be crucial in navigating this evolving ecosystem.
