Take the AI Usage & Adoption Study (2026)

Despite the endless headlines and corporate marketing narratives surrounding artificial intelligence, reliable data on how everyday professionals actually use these tools remains surprisingly limited.
To cut through the noise, We are conducting an independent research study to map out real-world AI habits. Whether you are an active power-user or someone who rarely touches generative AI, your experience is vital to this research.

🔍 What This Study Explores
This research focuses on the real-world mechanics of AI integration rather than marketing anecdotes. We are looking closely at:
  • Adoption Patterns: When and how often you engage with large language models.
  • Real Pain Points: The exact factors limiting your usage, from hallucinations to workflow integration issues.
  • Spending & Pricing: Subscription fatigue, monthly budgets, and how you would respond to price hikes.
  • Future Expectations: Where you realistically see AI impacting your workflow over the next 3 years.
🛠️ Survey Details
  • ⏱️ Time Commitment: It takes approximately 7–10 minutes to complete.
  • 🔒 Privacy: The questionnaire is 100% anonymous and completely independent from any product tie-ins.
  • 📊 Open Data: All findings will be published openly for public benefit.
🎯 Who Should Participate?
We are looking for diverse perspectives across all roles, including:
  • Founders, business owners, and operators.
  • Product leaders and engineers.
  • Knowledge workers, freelancers, and students.

Enterprise LLM Spend Reaches $8.4B as Anthropic Overtakes OpenAI, According to New Menlo Ventures Report on LLM Market

Image
Change in Enterprise LLM API Market Share By the end of 2023, OpenAI commanded 50% of the enterprise LLM market, but its early lead has eroded. Today, it captures just 25% of enterprise usage—half of what it held two years ago.Anthropic is the new top player in enterprise AI markets with 32%, ahead of OpenAI and Google (20%), which has shown strong growth in recent months. Meta’s Llama holds 9%, while DeepSeek, despite its high-profile launch at the beginning of the year, accounts for just 1%. Coding Market Share Claude quickly became the developer’s top choice for code generation, capturing 42% market share, more than double OpenAI’s (21%). In just one year, Claude helped transform a single-product space (GitHub Copilot) into a $1.9 billion ecosystem. The release of Claude Sonnet 3.5 in June 2024 demonstrated how breakthroughs at the model layer can move application markets, making possible entirely new categories like AI IDEs (Cursor, Windsurf), app builders (Lovable, Bolt,...

OpenAI Co-Founder: AI Agents Are Still 10 Years Away

Image
AI researcher Andrej Karpathy asserted in a lengthy podcast interview that while LLMs show huge progress, a decade of "grunt work" still lies ahead. When OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy speaks, even Elon Musk reacts. Karpathy had just recorded a two-and-a-half-hour interview with podcaster Dwarkesh Patel. And their wide-ranging discussion challenged conventional wisdom, with Karpathy pointing out roadblocks on any road to artificial general intelligence (AGI), and arguing that we’re 10 years away from AI agents. Right off the bat, Karpathy said “there’s some over-prediction going on in the industry.” And later, on X.com, he provided specifics on his own expectations: “Basically my AI timelines are about 5-10 times [as] pessimistic with regard to what you’ll find in your neighborhood San Francisco AI house party or on your Twitter timeline, but still quite optimistic with regard to a rising tide of AI deniers and skeptics.” Conversations inevitably continued on soci...

Ilya Sutskever Declares the Scaling Era Dead. His $3 Billion Bet Says Research Will Win.

Image
Ilya Sutskever helped prove that scale works in AI. Now he says it doesn't—and his $3 billion company is betting the future belongs to researchers with ideas, not labs with the biggest GPU clusters. The industry isn't ready for this argument. Ilya Sutskever thinks everyone is doing AI wrong. Not just slightly wrong. Fundamentally, paradigmatically wrong. In a recent interview with Dwarkesh Patel, the co-founder of Safe Superintelligence (SSI) and former OpenAI chief scientist laid out a thesis that should unsettle every frontier lab executive currently signing billion-dollar compute contracts. The age of scaling, he argues, has ended. What comes next requires something the industry has largely abandoned: actual research. "We got to the point where we are in a world where there are more companies than ideas," Sutskever observed. "By quite a bit." The statement lands differently coming from him. This is the researcher who co-authored AlexNet, helped b...
