💼 The LLM Battle as a Repeat of the Database Wars
Today's competition in the LLM field resembles the "database wars" of the 1990s. The main thesis is that the most successful technologies (like PostgreSQL and SQLite) become invisible infrastructure rather than loud commercial products. The winner will be whoever becomes the de facto standard and "disappears" into application configuration files.
🌍 A shift in focus from marketing battles between giants to the creation of standardized, invisible, and deeply integrated infrastructure, similar to modern SQL engines.
👤 It is important to watch not the loud announcements of new models, but the tools that enable mass integration and become the basic standard for developers.
