The AI industry is advancing at lightning speed, with companies racing to develop cutting-edge models and secure funding.

The Chinese startup's ChatGPT-like AI model called R1, operates at a fraction of the cost of OpenAI’s, Google’s or Meta’s popular AI models.

What will this mean for the broader AI space and the future of AI investment, and how should leaders adapt to these changing dynamics?
