They can put out a similar model whenever they want. The just don't want to, because the thing about AI research (vs., say, social media) is there's no first mover advantage. The best model wins and there's no network effect to bolster incumbents.

However, once a tool is good enough, both the branding and use of it becomes somewhat sticky. It’s why people still call any tablet an iPad, and it’s one of the reasons even if a large search engine launched tomorrow people would keep…
