AI Market Consolidation Trend
- Many AI markets, like foundation models and healthcare applications, are consolidating into clear winners for the short term.
- However, several important markets like sales tools and finance remain open and uncertain in terms of winners.

- Startups in the same market should consider merging to avoid wasting resources competing against each other.
- Simplify valuation and integration issues by focusing on combined market success rather than ego or culture concerns.
