Then they'll use it.

This game is about product, not models.

The alpha and margin on models will trend to zero. Razor thin products like ElevenLabs will become commodity, whereas rich UI/UX will stay ahead.

OpenAI themselves will be stretched too thin to build for this market too.

Sure, good UI is important, but do you really want to be a wrapper around someone’s model?

There are so many models out there for all sorts of use cases. A lot of the weights are in the open and you can fine tune on top of them.

There will be no single "foundation model" that wins. There will be dozens of competing foundational models that are all racing to the bottom. The product build around them and the user base / community are what matter.
