OpenAI is going to win. Sol 6.1 is frustratingly slow. Astra 6 is one of the most usage hungry models. And yet, subscriber growth in Codex continues to go up according to the OpenAI team. If users are still buying the product even when there are much better alternatives OpenAI clearly has the best brand. I have no loyalty and will always jump to the best products but the normal user apparently wants ChatGPT regardless.
