The main thread through the case laid out has a fundamental flaw "assumes a spherical cow in a vaccuum" . There are cheaper/faster more open competitors out there doing as much as OAI and getting integrated in real product pipelines across the planet.

Its not a Blueray vs HD-DVD situation (winner takes all and competition dies on the vine) or early Google vs Yahoo Search i would posit its more like bitkeeper vs git - and will probably eveolve into a git/hg/bazaar type situation. Costs will only keep dropping and the easiest/cost effective options will get faster uptake in the backend dev world where it matters.If im integrating a LLM and the whole field can kinda do the equivalent capex/opex will push the decision.
