The frontier labs were going to get commoditized. AI coders like @cursor & @blitzyai were going to get commoditized. App vendors like @harvey & @WeAreLegora were going to get commoditized. Routers like @OpenRouter were going to get commoditized. Harnesses like @TaskletAI were going to get commoditized. See the pattern? ;-) Turns out, it's a win-win-win market right now.

Remember when "GPT wrapper" was the ultimate dismissal? That take is aging kinda badly. The models create raw capability. The middleware layer — routing, harnesses, evals, inference optimization — makes it operational. Apps own the workflow, compounding proprietary context ("AI brain") with every use. Our view is that this is not a winner-take-all market. All three layers are building enduring value.
