I disagree.

Meta, Anthropic, Google, Mixtral have demonstrated that OpenAI can be caught and matched.

Today, if you have a powerful enough GPU cluster, you can run an internal GPT4-level LLM by deploying Meta's LLama 3.1 405b.

If OpenAI's GPT5 is as big of a leap as GPT3 to GPT4, the hype will reach unprecedented level again in my opinion.

You also have to be willing to consume ungodly amounts of energy to run those GPUs. That seems like an important caveat while the conversation about climate change and unpredictable weather is still top of mind for so many people.
