The maiden annual results report from Deepexi Technology Co. Ltd. (1384.HK) is showing just how quickly things change in the fast-evolving world of AI agents, as a product it rolled out just over two years ago has suddenly become its main breadwinner. The report is also showing how it could be difficult for companies like Deepexi to remain independent, making them likely acquisition targets – if they can manage to find buyers.
If they can’t get acquired, such companies could easily end up on the scrapheap of early AI movers that failed to take off in this fast-changing landscape. One of the earliest cases of a major merger in the AI agent space came last December from Manus, which agreed to be acquired by Facebook parent Meta (META.US) for $2 billion just three years after its founding.
