No, you switched to another SOTA model.

You didn't switch to 'Random Corner Store Token Seller' down the street, did you?

There 2-3 top players, that is not commodity.

Commodity is when there are enough that none of them have market power or can set prices.

'Commodity' means you buy your tokens from the Grocery Store on their loan plan. Like consumer credit is a commodity.

FYI predict this is roughly the way it will stay.

We will develop a lot of use for Chinese Open-ish models etc. but the SOTA's will maintain their place for a lot of things.

You're assuming that SOTA never hits a hard ceiling, letting local models catch up and achieve parity

It seems unlike that the frontier labs are going to be keeping ahead forever, they'll hit some kind of ceiling eventually

They can do both things at once (and appear to be doing so).
