openai definitely doesn’t hold a value of 730B. no way. their general chatbot has started sucking (gemini is better) and codex can’t compete with claude code at all

I don’t agree that Gemini is better. In benchmarks maybe, but their actual performance is markedly behind GPT 5.3 and Sonnet 4.6

When you realize $XAISTRAT$ handles CBDC throughput and it’s Elon-backed, you stop asking “if” and ask “how high.” 💰
