Gartner (NYSE:IT) warns that on October 7, 2025 the supply of agentic AI models, platforms and products currently exceeds demand, creating an imminent market correction and consolidation.

Gartner analysts expect undifferentiated AI vendors to be squeezed while capital-rich incumbents acquire talent and technology, enabling scale, vertical integration and domain-specific models that improve agentic performance and customer outcomes. Gartner frames the shift as a normal product-life-cycle correction, not evidence the underlying technology is unsound, but cautions speculative investment could still form a bubble.

The company recommends organizations focus on using technology to enhance support while maintaining human talent for handling complex, high-value customer interactions.
