This diagram illustrates the fundamental paradigm shift in service development across three platform evolution stages.
Platform Evolution:
- Cloud Platform
- Server-Client separation with cloud infrastructure development
- Developers directly build servers and databases to provide services
- SDK Platform
- Client-side evolution based on specific OS/SDK ecosystems (iOS, Android, Windows)
- Each platform provides development environments and tools
- This stage generated “Vast and numerous internet services” – an explosive growth of diverse internet services
- AI Platform – “Eating ALL”
- Fundamental paradigm shift: Instead of developers building individual services, the AI platform itself generates and provides services
- “All Services by AI”: AI directly provides the diverse services that developers previously created
- Multimodal capabilities: AI can understand and process all human senses and communication methods (language, vision, audio), enabling all functionalities through natural language conversation without specialized apps or services
Key Transformation:
- Traditional: Developer → Platform → Service Development → User
- AI Era: User → AI Platform → Instant Service Generation/Provision
This represents not just tool evolution, but a fundamental reorganization of the service ecosystem where countless specialized services converge into one unified AI platform due to AI’s universal cognitive abilities. The AI platform becomes a total service provider, essentially “eating” all existing service categories.
