They don’t really. Most normies which are the vast majority of people just use ChatGPT. All tech folk just use Claude.

It was the case a year ago, but it's less clear cut nowadays, I've seen non-tech people using claude on their phone in the train, and many tech people seem to have switched from Claude Code + Opus to Codex + Sol over the past few month.

Sometimes it seems like ChatGPT and Claude are releasing models every week.

  • Yeah, then I guess the GP was technically right it’s just people aren’t jumping providers constantly is what I was trying to get across.

Normies are not the target for a frontier model

  • they are target with 6 month lag. Say, if current Gemini will be demonstrating obviously superior perf compared to Opus, many normies devs will switch within 6 months.

    • Deva are not normie users by any stretch of the imagination, and they won't switch to a 6 month old frontier model because those will still be as expensive - they'll be using whatever the sub frontier model is at that time
