But any use case that gets large enough and makes money will be absorbed by openai direct, based on the market developed by the startup. OpenAI is using the Amazon model. Let someone else spend the money figuring out which market segments are profitable, then steal them with their inherently better access to the platform.

There are use cases that don’t align with OpenAI/Anthropic’s business model, which is to always use more tokens to get better. As the models improve they become way more expensive, with order of magnitude increases in price. I think there is a lane for detecting what can and should be deterministic after doing it a few times, and making it concrete so you don’t just burn tokens every time.
