#5I don't have a crystal ball, but based on similar historical scenarios, I think that one or two of these companies will win--probably because of some unique application, delivery or trade secret that will drive 80% of their revenue.
Consider Google, Apple, Amazon, etc.
It's still early days...

#10The article fails to mention DeepSeek, Alibaba, Qwen, Xiaomi, MiMo, z.ai, or GLM. It's hard to take such an article seriously that doesn't do this.

And then remarks like this:
Anthropic, OpenAI and Microsoft have all now transitioned customers from subscriptions to token-based pricing.
