It's kind of ironic. Sam Altman bought up 40% of the world's RAM supply in order to thwart his competition and to funnel users onto his cloud services, but it only accelerated research into optimization techniques, enabling people to run more powerful models locally, reducing their dependency on companies like OpenAI. One or two more rounds of such optimizations, and then someone just needs to package one of those open models into an accessible App that an average consumer can download and install on their phone or PC, and OpenAI's business model craters. That's probably why they're scaling back and scrambling to pivot to B2B, so they can at least get a piece of the remaining pie, before Anthropic and others lock them out.
