There's a good chance that they'll catch up. The "AI race" is a race to the bottom, with the leaders blowing huge wads of cash on capabilities that get replicated months later by the competition at a fraction of the cost.
The only benefit of leading is mindshare. OpenAI is doubling down on that, by investing in communication companies. That's their pathetic attempt at a "moat".
