According to the latest data, the artificial intelligence market in 2025 is undergoing drastic changes, and the way companies and consumers use artificial intelligence tools has also undergone a rapid change. Poe, a platform that brings together more than 100 AI models, has released a comprehensive report that reveals the usage patterns of user interactions over the past year, providing in-depth insights into text, image and video generation technologies.
In the field of text generation, OpenAI's GPT-4o and Anthropic's Claude series have always been considered two giants, just like Shaolin and Wudang in the martial arts world, and their status is quite stable. But the world is changing, and no one expected Cheng Yaojin to emerge halfway—DeepSeek. DeepSeek is not here to make a fuss. From his nameless person in December 2024 to his early 2025, it actually gained a 7% market share. This surge is faster than riding on the Rockets!
It seems that the country of AI in this text is probably going to change from "two people to "Three Kingdoms Kill". Poe's report also pointed out that Anthropic quickly tied OpenAI with the launch of its Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which shows that as long as the internal strength is strong enough, it is not impossible to overtake on the curve.
If text generation is just a little turbulent, then the field of image generation is simply a "earthquake" level change. The once glorious Dall-E-3 and various versions of Stable Diffusion, these "old seniors" in the image generation industry, have significantly reduced their market share by nearly 80%!
Instead, it is a dark horse - Black Forest Labs' Flux series model. This guy seemed to jump out of a crack in the stone. He suddenly made efforts in the mid-2024, quickly occupying nearly 40% of the market share, firmly taking the top spot in the field of image generation. This "counterattack" tells us that in the AI world, the Yangtze River pushes the previous waves, and if the previous wave is not careful, it will be photographed on the beach.
Of course, Google is not idle in the field of image generation, and its Imagen3 series has also grown steadily, accounting for nearly 30% of the market. It seems that Jiang is still old and his technical strength cannot be underestimated.
To talk about which field is the most exciting, you have to watch the video to generate it. This emerging field is simply a "blitzkrieg", with eight suppliers emerging in a short period of time.
Early leader Runway once occupied a considerable market share with his first-mover advantage, but once Google's Veo-2 debuted, it was like a tiger going down the mountain. It snatched nearly 40% of the market in just a few weeks, directly pushing Runway to second place. This speed and efficiency make people wonder if Google has secretly opened the "acceleration gear".
It is worth mentioning that the video generation model developed by China also performed well, accounting for about 15% of the market share in total. Models such as Kling-Pro-v1.5, Hailuo-AI, HunyuanVideo and Wan-2.1 have been continuously breaking through in terms of capabilities, reasoning time and cost, indicating that international competition will be more intense.
Poe's report also reveals a slightly "ruthless" truth: users are chasing new models more quickly than they imagined. Once a more powerful new model is released, users will quickly abandon the old version, and this "loving the new and getting tired of the old" phenomenon is reflected in both OpenAI and Anthropic.
As soon as GPT-4o was released, GPT-4 instantly fell out of favor; as soon as Claude3.5 was launched, Claude3 became the "yellow flower of yesterday". This reminds major AI companies: instead of trying to maintain a bunch of old models, it is better to concentrate on building the latest flagship products.
After all, users' attention is limited, and whoever can provide stronger functions can win the user's "heart".
Poe's report is like a mirror, clearly reflecting the drastic changes in the AI market in 2025. No matter how powerful the technology is, it may be caught off guard by market changes; first-mover advantage is important, but continuous innovation is the king. For corporate decision makers, only by embracing change and building a flexible AI application system can we remain invincible in this AI revolution.
Remember, the only thing that remains unchanged in the world of AI is change itself!
