You win by adoption.

Here adoption is a combination on the tool and the model.

If people can’t pay the model to use the tool, they might not use the tool even if it’s better.

That’s what anthropic is doing.

It might be faster, but it’s more expensive.

There is no loyalty. They eho have the best models win.

The only way remains to try and lock consumers into your ecosystem.
