LLM Market Analysis & Future Predictions
Market Dynamics
- DeepSeek disrupting LLM space by demonstrating lack of sustainable competitive advantage
- LM Arena (lm.arena.ai) shows models like Gemini, DeepSeek, Claude frequently exchanging top positions
- ELO rating system (used in chess/UFC) demonstrates eventual market parity
Restaurant/Chef Analogy
When multiple restaurants compete for one talented chef, profits flow to the chef rather than creating sustainable advantage for any restaurant - illustrating perfect competition in LLM space.
2025-2026 Predictions
- Heavy investment in GPUs/expensive engineers won't provide significant advantages
- Evolution similar to Linux's displacement of Solaris
- Growth of local/open-source models driven by:
- Data privacy/legal concerns
- Data breach risks
- Decreasing profit margins
Conclusion
Commercial AGI models likely to give way to open-source and local alternatives, with market forces driving profits toward zero through perfect competition.
