FWIW I do think that availability of competitive open weight and other non-frontier models, along with improvements in harnesses that can get good results out of these models, will result in less concentration and a healthier marketplace.

However, these frontier labs are also making moves that could let them capture a disproportionate share of the upside. One possibility is a situation analogous to the smartphone manufacturing space, where there are dozens of players but just a handful (e.g. Apple, Samsung in smartphones) capture the lion's share of the revenue.

Apple you can’t exit the ecosystem.

Samsung the same. And is the best android device.

If tomorrow comes a Nokia os will be dead in the water: it has no apps.

But with a new llm that doesn’t matter. There is nothing sticky about typing Gemini, Claude or codex in a cli.
