Deedy Das, Principal at Menlo Ventures, breaks down the high-stakes battle shaping the future of AI - from capital wars to a global compute crunch.

As giants like OpenAI, Meta, and X flex billion-dollar war chests and lure top talent, is the AI future already monopolized? Deedy says not quite.
While the model layer is capital-gated, the application layer is wide open and powered by self-taught young founders using LLMs as their crash course in tech entrepreneurship.
Big Tech may own the infrastructure, but the next breakout idea could still come from a college dorm or a solo coder.
