This tells you a lot in terms of real-world usage. Claude is relatively expensive + openrouter users are generally price-conscious, yet it still crushes everything else. If investors are demanding new models that'd be absurdly short-sighted, on the level of if Apple investors would suddenly want bi-annual iPhone releases instead of annual ones.
Imo Anthropic's continued stability issues are also just due to extreme demand. Very telling too that everyone continues to build their products on top of them despite far more downtime than OpenAI, clearly it's worth it.
