for sure they are no longer clear winners, but they try to be just barely on top of others.

right now new Gemini surpassed their o3 (barely) in benchmarks for significantly less money so they cut pricing to be still competitive.

I bet they didn't released o4 not because it's not competitive, but because they are doing Nvidia game: release new product that is just enough better to convince people to buy it. so IMO they are holding full o4 model to have something to release after competition release something better that their top horse
