OpenAI is capturing most of the value in the space (generic LLM models), even though they have competitors who are beating them on price or capabilities.
I think OpenAI may be able to maintain this position at least for the medium term because of their name recognition/prominence and they are still a fast mover.
I also think the US is going to ban all non-US LLM providers from the US market soon for "security reasons."
What do you consider an "LLM provider"? Is it a website where you interact with a language model by uploading text or images? That definition might become too broad too quickly. Hard to ban.
How else do you learn?
Would you care to provide examples? I am a longtime user of Mozilla products unfamiliar with the topic and I am genuinely curious.

Mozilla does not have its own service but rather resells Mullvad, one of the most privacy focused services in existence. Is there more to this story that I am unaware of?
But like so many they turned commercial and kicked off all the hobbyists that made them big. It was a really nasty move. I have never found a suitable replacement. I don't know what it is about weather that gives people so much greed.
Yes, their acquisition by IBM really messed things up. I went from totally loving the app to uninstalling it and never looking back.
Definitely going to feed my local data to weather.gov.
Then you go use linux and everyone copy-pastes commands other people wrote straight into the terminal.
I know a lot of people that use Linux and not many of them operate this way. Most care about their software sources. "Everyone" is certainly not the case.
Just take what's there and include the obvious next steps:
- Meshtastic and Meshcore ability to use relay nodes for long range BLE networks (Briar doesn't allow)
- Store and hold encrypted messages, as noted above.
- Ability to route through the internet, prioritize routing methods, disable internet routing, etc.
- Ability to self-host server for online relays (similar to Matrix)
