2025: The Year of the AI App

Wired  

What a great idea I had for the first Plaintext of 2025. After following the frantic competition between OpenAI, Google, Meta, and Anthropic to churn out brainier and deeper “frontier” foundation models, I settled on a thesis about what’s ahead: In the new year, those mighty trailblazers will consume billions of dollars, countless gigawatts, and all the silicon Nvidia can muster in their pursuit of AGI. But I’m more confident than ever that in 2025 we’ll be seeing a scramble to produce apps that make even skeptics admit that generative AI is at least as big a deal as smartphones. DeepSeek is accelerating, he says, “a commoditization of the extremely high-value LLM model lab world.” He provides some recent historical context: Soon after the first consumer transformer-based models like ChatGPT appeared in 2022, those trying to provide use cases for actual people concocted fast-and-dirty apps on top of the LLMs. “‘Are you doing something truly unique while using at your core these AI models?’” That question has been answered: Wrappers are no longer the industry delight.
