Because open-source models keep catching up faster than companies like OpenAI can stay ahead of the curve. They're generally staying ahead of the curve by virtue of being able to throw money and resources at the problem but they're quickly maxing out how many parameters they can possibly incorporate into solutions like GPT. And that's really the 'moat' companies like OpenAI have right now. It's not a technological moat but a resource moat. There's not much OpenAI can do to stave off competing AI solutions but there's still only a handful of companies that can currently run this stuff at scale. If companies like OpenAI were smart they would switch to a service provider model running these AI systems at scale rather than centering on a single AI model/system.
