Business spending on generative AI surged 500% this year, from $2.3 billion in 2023 to $13.8 billion, according to data released by Menlo Ventures on Wednesday. The report also found that OpenAI ceded market share in enterprise AI, declining from 50% to 34%. Anthropic doubled its market share from 12% to 24%. Although OpenAI and Anthropic dominated companies' AI model use, he said, people are "juggling models" and that habit is "not a well-understood piece of data." Meta 's market share stayed at 16% and Cohere's share remained at 3%.
