AI commercialization payment quietly arrives
2023-10-09
In the early stages of the artificial intelligence (AI) technology revolution, OpenAI released ChatGPT, a chat robot that amazed the world. In just two months, its monthly active users exceeded 100 million, becoming the fastest-growing consumer grade application in history. ChatGPT not only has extensive applications in numerous industry fields, but its emergence has successfully popularized technical terms such as Generative Artificial Intelligence (AIGC), Big Models, Emergence, etc. to the public. Nowadays, the AI technology revolution has quietly entered the next stage - the era of AI payment. On September 21st local time, American technology company Microsoft held its autumn launch event in New York. The highlight of this event was the launch of the new Copilot platform, which is undoubtedly another example of the commercialization of AI products. Microsoft Copilot is positioned as a "daily AI companion", introducing AI into the most commonly used Microsoft products and forming a single experience. At the same time, prioritize personal privacy and data security. With the blessing of Copilot, Windows 11 will become the starting point for user experience AI's powerful capabilities. In addition to the consumer version of Copilot, Microsoft has also announced that its Microsoft 365 Copilot Enterprise Edition will be fully launched on November 1st, and AI will embed collaborative tools such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams to help users improve work efficiency. It is worth noting that if enterprise users want to use this AI feature, in addition to paying the Microsoft 365 subscription fee, they also need to pay an additional $30 per employee per month. At present, many companies' generative AI products and services have shifted from free to paid, and products aimed at subscription users are also accelerating optimization and even upgrading. For example, on August 29, OpenAI launched the "Rocket" version - ChatGPT Enterprise Edition, which provides enterprise level security and privacy, unlimited high-speed GPT-4 access, and longer context windows. It can be said that the launch of ChatGPT Enterprise Edition has started the trend of charging for large models. In early September, the Antiopic company founded by former members of OpenAI officially launched a paid version of the Claude2 Pro chat robot in the UK and US, with a monthly subscription fee of $20. After purchase, users can receive priority responses, use new features in advance, and send more information. Subsequently, on September 14th, image processing company Adobe also announced the official launch of its generative AI product "Firefly" in a commercial version, allowing users to quickly create ideas and content for any project and use it for commercial purposes. More and more AI products and services are starting to commercialize, and it is currently uncertain which company will become the ultimate winner in the field of charging for large model products. Because this will depend on various factors such as the technical quality, market position, innovation ability, business strategy, and user needs of the company and its products. Meanwhile, the continuous updates of user and market demands may also lead to competition
