If the adoption of AI feels different from any tech revolution you may have experienced before \u2014 mobile, social<\/a>, cloud computing \u2014 it actually is.<\/p>\n

Venture capitalist Mary Meeker just dropped a 340-page slideshow report<\/a> \u2014 which used the word \u201cunprecedented\u201d on 51 of those pages \u2014 to describe the speed at which AI is being developed, adopted, spent on, and used, backed up with chart after chart.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pace and scope of change related to the artificial intelligence technology<\/a> evolution is indeed unprecedented, as supported by the data,\u201d she writes in the report, called \u201cTrends \u2014 Artificial Intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a certain poetic history to this person writing this kind of report. Meeker is the founder and general<\/a> partner at VC firm Bond and was once known as Queen of the Internet<\/a> for her previous annual Internet Trends reports. Before founding Bond, she ran Kleiner Perkins\u2019 growth practice, from 2010-2019, where she backed companies like Facebook, Spotify, Ring, and Block (then Square).\u00a0<\/p>\n

She hasn\u2019t released a trends report since 2019. But she dusted off her skills to document, in laser detail, how AI adoption has outpaced any other tech in human history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ChatGPT reaching<\/a> 800 million users in 17 months: unprecedented.\u00a0The number of companies and the rate at which so many others are hitting high annual recurring revenue rates: also unprecedented.<\/p>\n

The speed at which costs of usage are dropping: unprecedented. While the costs of training a model (also unprecedented) is up to $1 billion, inference costs \u2014 for example, those paying to use the tech \u2014 has already dropped 99% over two years, when calculating cost per 1 million tokens, she writes, citing research from Stanford<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pace at which competitors are matching each other\u2019s features, at a fraction of the cost, including open source options, particularly Chinese models: unprecedented. For example, she points out that Nvidia\u2019s 2024 Blackwell GPU uses 105,000x less energy per token than the company\u2019s 2014 Kepler GPU predecessor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, chips from Google, like its TPU (tensor processing unit), and Amazon\u2019s Trainium, are being developed at scale for their clouds \u2014 that\u2019s moving quickly, too. \u201cThese aren\u2019t side projects \u2014 they\u2019re foundational bets,\u201d she writes.<\/p>\n

The one area where AI hasn\u2019t outpaced every other tech revolution is in financial returns. While VCs are pouring money on the AI fire as fast as they can, AI companies and cloud service providers are also burning through cash. AI requires massive investments in infrastructure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s good for consumers and enterprises, the beneficiaries of fast improvements, while competition lowers costs, Meeker points out. But the jury is still out over which of the current crop of companies will become long-term, profitable, next-generation tech giants.\u00a0\u201cOnly time will tell which side of the money-making equation the current AI aspirants will land,\u201d she writes.<\/p>\n
