It may not be winner-takes-all. Study after study shows that the models are converging as they get bigger; their results are getting more similar to one another. The models themselves are becoming interchangeable commodities.

We can use OpenRouter to build agents with any LLM and switching your agent to a new model is a one-line code change. We can write MCP tools that work with most of the decent models.

Honestly, I think we may be entering a period where things start to decentralize and money starts to move towards startups building interesting tools and agent workflows instead of a handful of giant companies training frontier models.
