Reddit: AI competition matters more than which model is currently best
SilverSmith09 · reddit · 2026-09-23
A Reddit user argues that rather than obsessing over which model is best at any moment, users should appreciate that AI hasn't become a single-company monopoly like search or video: multiple frontier labs release models at a rivaling pace with competitive pricing, and Chinese open-source models keep close behind SOTA. This competition prevents any player from freely setting prices or killing products—the thing they're most grateful for.
