Yes, I'm sure if we ask a question about The Party to your (Baidu) model, we can trust the answer.

In LLM era, it is the compute cost of the hardware that is differentiating the barrier to entry for winners and anything that do not have massive budget for both training and marketing are never heard of unless they are in self-hype narrow field(Cursor).
It is also sad that, AI is hyped to progress environmental and medical research and there were some impressive feats, but all the hype and money is literally going to chatbot shops, hence marketing budget is also another barrier to entry.

FWIW, I believe there is a defendable moat for the players that have really good UI and are really focused on end-user solutions. E.g. I pay for Cursor.sh because I believe it is an easy net win for my productivity. But I do really wonder if these "AI application" companies can support their lofty valuations. I feel like most of them will have limited pricing power because if they try to price too high it's easy for someone to say "OK, we'll just go to a competitor, or even pull it in house."

But I am starting to wonder do you always need one. You won't win startup lottery to trillion. But you can still have solid business that generates profit and sells real working reasonable solutions to real customers.
Then again this is obviously wrong site for that...
