You don't need to outspend them or capture a huge percentage of the market. It's not a win-or-lose situation: there's a small-to-medium market for open-source model wrappers with a privacy angle, and you can make some money from it.

The AI angle aside, I spend a lot of time wishing that people and companies could be happy with a good thing.

You don't need to crush your competition and drink from their skulls while squeezing every ounce of money out of your customers. You could just do something, be good at it, and be sustainability making a month-to-month profit instead of chasing exponential growth at all costs

		That's a good sentiment, but that's not how capital investing works. Imagine we're 5 years in the future, OpenAI is doing well and "sustaining" and you have another company, say, Google, growing at a faster clip or atleast priorizing growth. You have $100 then, and where will you put the money. Will you give money to Sam Altman, who says, great I'll give you $105 because we're "sustaining" and not chasing profits at all, or to Sundar Pichai who says I'll give you $120 beacuse we're prioritizing growth.
