I'm curious how do these LLM wrapper companies think they'll survive long term - especially coding related wrappers.

I could understand focusing on a niche business use case, but coding is a main focus of the foundation models themselves.

Labeling them as “wrappers” and “niche business” indicates a strong cognitive bias already. Value can be created on both sides of the equation.

How so? They are wrappers, and it is niche.

I think those wrappers could create some potentially complex workflow around LLM API, with various trees of decisions, integrations, eval, rankers, ratets, etc, and this is their added value.

Wrappers are a bit pejorative and reductive - everything is a wrapper around something else.

If everything is a wrapper around something else, how can the description be a pejorative?
