Monetized AI: The Hidden Gears Turning Code into Cash
Picture this: a scrappy dev team in a dimly lit co-working space, their screens flickering with neural nets churning out predictions worth millions. That's monetized AI in action — but how does the money machine really work?
⚡ Key Takeaways
- Monetized AI splits into direct (sell the model) and indirect (optimize ops) paths, with open source slashing entry barriers. 𝕏
- Architectural shifts like cheap inference enable niches; focus on RAG, agents for defensible moats. 𝕏
- Open source will claim 70% of future revenue via forks — beating closed giants at scale. 𝕏
