I don't know where the author gets his information. The GPT-5 is not on par with Claude Opus.
It's still cheaper than Sonnet, but certainly not by 10x. Sonnet, arguably, is still better than GPT-5, although not by much and not in all circumstances.
I read analysis that GPT-5 is better at debugging (super important) and following exact instructions (many people don't quite know what they are asking for anyway, so this could be counter-productive in many cases).
So no, OpenAI did not burn the boats...

Very interesting article
But why on earth would you not use proper case for your words? ai is difficult to read as everybody else on the planet uses AI! Even the sentences feel weird without their uppercase at their beginning. (At least the final sentence dots were there…)

I mean if Anthropic is really stealing market share from OpenAI in the enterprise space, as this article suggests they are, then what OpenAI is doing makes total sense. They should price competitively to get companies hooked on OpenAI early to build market share. I don't think OpenAI is burning boats because I don't think their position is dire

I don’t think that saying means what you think it does.
Also I have not seen any evidence that OpenAI is pivoting to advertising. And even if they did I’m doubtful that advertising would pay the bills. This is one of the reasons Google did not originally pursue LLMs despite having the technology.

This explains why Anthropic cut OpenAI off of their models just before GPT-5 was released.
