AI Startups Acquisition Models

So it turns out that the AI boom introduced a new exit strategy compare to 10 years ago.

Inflection, Adept, Character and many others they all went through founder drain. Big Tech not only acqui-hired, but also paid some royalties or licensing fees to likely keep investors happy.

What's this trend telling you? Why does this approach all of a sudden makes more sense than classic acquisitions?
