The author argues that the most interesting AI competition right now isn't about "who is smarter," but rather a pricing war:
- Anthropic has higher prices
- OpenAI has lower prices and faster releases
- Google is fighting for the enterprise market with a free tier strategy
The verdict: in the AI space, pricing and distribution are becoming far more critical battlegrounds than raw model capabilities alone.
