You've not seen how long it takes to switch an enterprise claude subscription to github copilot or vice versa with all the compliance and shareholders

This implies you didn’t run any sort of evaluations? It is not realistic for any sort of production use case to do this.

If you are a business dealing with with anything remotely sensitive then this is not so easy and you are basically forced to do business with a big player.

well, it's a function with the string(string) type signature, so it's bound to be weakly coupled, it's literally stringly typed.

If there's efforts to build vendor lock in, it's going to be in the surrounding api, whether it's streaming responses, or this weird prediction thing, or temperature settings, seeds, stuff like that.

And even then, competitors can copy the interface because interfaces are not copyrightable.
