It's unclear to me how this will play out because LLMs don't have the same network / platform effects as the other examples (Uber / Facebook), nor is there one dominant LLM that is overwhelmingly better than the competition for consumers (Google). There's overwhelming competition from the open source cheap models especially for the lower-mid intelligence use cases
- bluefirebrand 4mo agoThe vast majority of people don't know what an Open model is or how to use one, or even that it is an option
- vanuatu 4mo agoFor now! Even if not, there's pricing pressure between chat, gemini, and claude. The products seem to be comparable for laypeople which is why OpenAI has been investing a ton in their memory feature to try to lock in users
- cousinbryce 4mo agoThat’s only one away from being a classic tech duopoly
- scoopdewoop 4mo agoI agree. I don't see why something getting more competition and plummeting costs is going to get significantly worse. Meta being Meta is not the strongest argument.
