What would move Groq up
- GPT expand frontier-model breadth and enterprise-grade reliability features
- Claude Support a wider model lineup faster — its curated, hardware-constrained catalog lags major open-weight releases and forces multi-provider setups
- Gemini Support custom model uploads and offer larger context windows across their standard model offerings.
