What the Top AI Companies Actually Build With AI

Mythos got released. Then it got banned. The hype was everywhere for a week.

And here's the thing nobody says out loud: most companies still have no idea what to do with any of it. Not the solopreneurs. Not the industry leaders either. They have access to the most capable models in history and they're using them to summarize emails.

The gap isn't the model. The gap is what you do with it.

I spent the last while studying the top 100 companies actually getting value out of AI today — not the ones posting about it, the ones shipping with it. Three things separate them from everyone else. None of them are about which model you pick.
