The GenAI economy has generated $110 billion in sales over the past 12 months. It is growing fast. On an annualized basis, the revenue run rate exceeds $175 billion.
These numbers took us several months to construct, and as far as we know, it’s the first bottom-up, deduplicated measure of consumer and enterprise AI spending across the full stack.
We are releasing this research today in our first The State of the AI Economy report.

Exponential solar 💚 Although it only comprised 2.06% of global energy consumption in 2022, solar PV’s share is bound to grow fast. In the United States, more than half of new electricity-generating capacity in 2023 will be solar.
