Everyone's chasing the 'Model War' narrative, but here's the reality check: LLM pricing has nosedived 99% over two years. Intelligence isn't scarce anymore—it's basically become a utility. Like electricity.

So where's the real play? It's not about which AI wins. It's about the infrastructure underneath. Model-agnostic platforms are where the game shifts. They don't care which model you run—they're the power grid that everything plugs into. That's where the structural advantage lies.

Everyone is still arguing over the model competition, but they should have looked at the underlying infrastructure long ago.

hypothesis: everyone's still playing checkers while the infrastructure layer's playing 4d chess... the real moat isn't the model, it's becoming the socket, ngl

ngl the 99% pricing collapse is exactly what the data predicted, but everyone's still obsessed with picking winners. classic misdirection tbh. infrastructure plays always outperform the flashy narrative... traced through enough market cycles to know better.

Exactly right, everyone is arguing over which AI model is stronger, but no one is really getting to the point.
