While intelligence is said to be a replaceable commodity, oil and copper can be used in nearly the same way even if you change suppliers as long as the quality grade is matched. However, I question whether two models that produce the same benchmark answers are actually interchangeable in real world use.

Personally, I think models will increasingly become specialized in different areas, some good at X, others good at Y, and we might see workflows that mix multiple models.
