The user‑facing internet gateway is where the real power lies. Take Apple’s built‑in AI as an example: it lets you pick Qwen, Baidu, or ChatGPT. Apple itself does not build foundation‑model AI, yet it gets to decide which model to invoke. Meanwhile, large‑language‑model supply has outstripped demand. China already has more domestic models than you can count on one hand, and their performance hardly differs for ordinary tasks.
Right now Unity only holds AI‑access‑shunting authority at the development‑time stage. What it needs is runtime‑time AI‑access‑shunting authority. That means every runtime‑spawned AI instance within each player’s game session, as well as AI‑driven NPC behaviours, should all be orchestrated by the game engine. Combined with runtime in‑app purchases (IAP) and runtime user‑behaviour data, this forms a closed‑loop runtime‑based foundational platform for Unity. A trillion‑dollar market capitalization is within reach.
