If you can design and ship ASICs faster than anyone else for new problems then you can become the dominant player. All the new LLM startups just use the OpenAI API interface since they were first to market dominance.
Actually, it is more along the lines of "if you don't HAVE to keep shipping new ASICs for each new problem because you have a better architecture, you can become the dominant player".
That is how FPGAs got important. And general purpose CPUs or GPUs.
