i think its a combination of these:

- OAIs models are much more token efficient. in some cases their new mythos-level model uses 1/4th of the tokens that mythos does.

- they reportedly have recently found another way to decrease compute needed "by half" in a breakthrough

- early on, they ensured they have much more compute ready, whereas Anthropic had to disable new users signing up because they ran out of compute

- OAI has fewer users (5mln codex users vs, what, 10mln claude code users?)

Link to source for the breakthrough in inference compute? Are you talking about prefill?
source is the theinformation, but its only for logged out chatgpt users

Maybe they read some Deepseek papers.
