Key takeaways

• Enterprise SaaS incumbents with deep C-suite relationships and strong net dollar retention are positioned to benefit as AI ROI scrutiny forces buyers back to trusted platforms, while low-end SaaS faces existential disruption.
• The Trump-Xi summit signals a potential shift toward economic entanglement as the primary conflict-avoidance mechanism, with chip sales, Taiwan relevance, and regional sphere-of-influence trades all on the table.
• Multi-sensory AI models (real-time vision, audio, and context) represent the next major platform shift beyond LLMs, with token consumption potentially 1000x current levels—creating massive infrastructure and hardware upgrade demands.

Why this matters

For B2B technology leaders, the convergence of US-China trade normalization, AI-driven SaaS repricing, and the emergence of always-on multi-sensory AI agents will simultaneously reshape enterprise software valuations, global supply chains, and the fundamental economics of human productivity.
