The pattern has shifted twice.

  • In May 2025, Anthropic gained significant share following the launches of Opus 4 and Sonnet 4. Switching then declined over the next year.
  • In June 2026, OpenAI's price cuts and new model launches disrupted that equilibrium.

Since then, Anthropic and OpenAI alone have made at least nine model launch announcements. This intense competition is music to the ears of model users. It could be an early sign that AI models are becoming commodities.
