AI Market Insights

TAAFT Data Powers OECD AI Market Report

The OECD just published a landmark research report in collaboration with There’s An AI For That to decode what’s really happening in today’s AI markets. This isn’t theory; it’s a hard-data global scan, and the findings are both encouraging and a wake-up call.

Key Takeaways:

  • AI Supply Explosion: Over 1,000 AI foundation models from nearly 100 developers are now live. Growth is off the charts, and text models alone account for nearly 80% of the market, with image and audio models catching up fast.

  • Prices Plummet, Quality Rises: The cost to access top AI models has dropped by 80% in just two years. Model quality keeps climbing while competition pushes prices lower, especially for “good enough” and open-source models.

  • Open Source = Open Doors: The open-source movement (think Meta, Mistral) is driving competition, lowering barriers, and speeding up innovation. But only 25% of “open” models actually qualify as fully open source. Licensing and control are still big issues.

  • No One-Company Rule (Yet): Despite US and big-tech dominance, the market is not locked up. Chinese, European, and indie players are catching up, often within months. Most of today’s leaders were nowhere just 18 months ago.

  • Cloud Competition Holds, for Now: The top cloud providers (Amazon, Google, Microsoft) aren’t charging above-market prices for AI access. The study found no proof of price gouging or anti-competitive lock-in yet.

  • TAAFT’s Impact: There’s An AI For That is the #1 website for AI tools, tracking 37,000+ tools across 13,500+ tasks. Our dataset enabled the OECD to chart the actual, on-the-ground diffusion of AI tools into business and daily life.
