Recent events [1] should make it clear that the "golden age" of commercial LLMs is over, and that companies have moved to the advertising + engagement farming phase of the technology now. Which is sad to see since I don't get the impression limits have been reached on the core technology yet, but I suppose you can't fund things with high benchmark scores.

This has to be one of the most rapid enshittification cycles in history.
Personally, I'll either spin up my own LLM or go back to life without them before I let ChatGPT advertise to me.

The golden age that lasted all of a few months?
Or Anthropic?
Anthropic will likely go a similar way - what moat, what funding source does Anthropic have that OpenAI does not?
As LLMs keep getting better, I hope there will always be a Kagi of LLMs.
