Goldman Sachs2026-08-22 15:29:58Goldman Sachs says AI is moving into execution, with competition shifting to workflows and world models gaining groundGoldman Sachs said its latest Silicon Valley field research points to a new phase for artificial intelligence: moving from systems that can answer questions to systems that can execute work. Based on meetings held on Aug. 18 and 19 with AI startups, venture capital firms, and researchers at Stanford University, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of California, San Francisco, the bank said commercialization is moving away from seat-based subscriptions toward pricing tied to consumption, transaction volume, and outcomes. In that shift, agents are becoming workflow operators rather than support tools, while value is moving away from the model layer alone toward proprietary data, business context, and domain expertise. Goldman also said the main hurdle to enterprise deployment is increasingly about controllability and accountability rather than raw model capability. The report described a growing split between frontier and open-source models, with the former used for high-value, reliability-sensitive tasks and the latter for lower-cost, standardized workloads. It also said world models are drawing more attention than large language models in several research settings and could drive a new computing demand curve, with compute demand potentially rising about 24-fold over the next five years.630
