That data moat is the real barrier to entry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStill, if a major competitor dedicates, say, $500 million over three years solely to matching the model's output, they could close the gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganization: Commitment to Exploitation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe organization is structured to exploit this technology. 360 DigiTech, Inc. explicitly plans to power one-third of its core processes with its new AI agent platform.
