Spike, either I have a complete misunderstanding of LLM-type AI, or you do.

There is no source code for any AI that I know about.  There is
training code with which an AI is trained on a vast corpus of text,
but nothing a programmer would recognize as code. As far as I know,
the inside of an AI is a mystery to all the companies.

If I am wrong here, please let me know,

If Anthropic is out of the picture, then those remaining three will look at each other and rewrite themselves.
