Tech giants have million-dollar supercomputers with massive datasets to train transformer models and AI models in general.

Big tech giants have many corporate customers that already use their cloud services. As a result, adding a transformer API to an existing cloud architecture requires less effort than any other solution.

A small company or even an individual can access the most powerful transformer models through an API with practically no investment in development. An intern can implement the API in a few days. There is no need to be an engineer or have a Ph.D. for such a simple implementation.

For example, the OpenAI platform now has a Software as a Service (SaaS) API for some of the most effective...
