You could say the same about Codex (and other tooling). Opus as a model is market leading (trading blows with the greatest that OpenAI is peddling), but there will be a reckoning when open weight models are good enough - and I'd argue we are almost there with some of the latest releases. If you hook up the latest OpenAI models to something like OpenCode, its a taste of what an open harness with a powerful model (outside of a providers ecosystem) will be able to offer developers in the future.


I know there are multiple paths at this, thank the computing gods.

If we get to an end-state of monopoly/duopoly at this game, then we are truly screwed.

I was just stating my current use and revenue path. Anthropic has insane velocity, in April of 2026.

Will you have the hardware to run them? Perhaps. Will enough of Anthropic's/OpenAI's large enterprise customers have the hardware to run them and the money/desire to have their own internal teams set up and maintain them?


> when open weight models are good enough

I think Deepseek is already there.
