The thing is that R&D is their only chance, if they stop, open models will catch up. It will be the cloud owners making all the money at that point.
Right. I think the whole thing is still a fool's errand.
As soon as they can't monopolize all the days center wafers, they'll be trying to sell their proprietary models against scrappy little pop up businesses running open models at cut throat rates.
They may still make some money, but I don't think the billions tossed at all this are coming back to them.
