my money is on: eventually frontier model dev and training becomes basic research funded by governments, and LLM operators become essentially private utilities a la ISPs, competing mostly on data center operational costs and occasionally new chip tech to run models cheaper

and governments will keep running massive data centers with classified frontier models for intelligence and propaganda purposes
