Silly question: how can OpenAI, Claude and all, have a valuation so large considering all the open source models? Not saying they will disappear or be tiny (closed models), but why so so so valuable?

People cannot normally invest in their competitors.

It's not unlikely that chinese products may be banned / tarriff'd

There are non-Chinese open LLMs (Mistral, LLama, etc), so I don't think that explains it.
