A new discussion sparked by SemiAnalysis asks whether OpenAI and Anthropic will reserve their best models for themselves. @amir notes his team has covered industry concern over this since June. The key question is how the labs would replace model sales revenue — Anthropic's enterprise application revenue is unlikely to supplant API sales anytime soon. Still, the author argues these companies can't simply forgo large revenue opportunities.
