Applied AIRunable hits $21M to bet AI agents can go from building businesses to growing them
If 60%–70% of a trillion-plus tokens in 90 days are from paying customers, agentic workflows are already past toy status for a subset of operators.

If a Tier 1 bank is putting Gemini into credit risk assessment, model outputs are now upstream of capital allocation and regulatory exposure.
