The State

Platform lock-in tightens as OpenAI and Google ship infrastructure depth, not just model upgrades.

Today's releases follow a clear pattern: both OpenAI and Google are cementing their platforms at the infrastructure layer—WebRTC voice stacks, webhook-driven async pipelines, security frameworks, and enterprise partnerships—not just releasing smarter models. For builders, this means the switching cost of moving between providers is quietly rising each week. The real strategic risk is not which model is smartest today, but which platform you are architecturally entangled with in 12 months. Build abstraction layers now, while it is still cheap to do so.
