I've been thinking about this for a little and it really feels we're on the path to LLMs becoming a commodity, similar to cloud computing. At this point, I would bet that for the average user the middle tier models for all the major players are more for their uses and any differences are indistinguishable. Even when major advancements are made by one party, it seems like everyone else can catch up pretty quick. I'd expect that to continue to happen, especially if companies start embracing open source as the future (like they're claiming they will). If that happens, the winner in this space won't be who has the best model, but who can build the better company. It's going to be able the deals they make, they products they build on top of their models, and who can bring their costs down the most.
