Artificial intelligence companies
Research the companies building AI models, applications and the infrastructure that brings them to customers.
The AI industry spans several different businesses. Model developers train and distribute general purpose systems. Cloud providers supply computing capacity and enterprise distribution. Semiconductor companies provide the processors and networking that make training and inference possible. Comparing them starts with understanding where each earns revenue and which costs it carries.

Read the NVIDIA profileHow to compare these businesses
For model developers, look for evidence of adoption, retention and the economics of serving customers. For infrastructure providers, examine capital intensity, utilization and the durability of demand. A large funding valuation describes a specific financing or transaction; it does not establish profitability or make different business models directly comparable.
Questions to take into your research
- How does the company charge for its products, and who pays?
- Which costs increase as usage grows?
- Is the cited valuation from a funding round, a tender or an estimate?
