OpenAI is a few years behind Anthropic, and it's unlikely they'll catch up at this point.
let's not forget that these major LLMs are all the children of corporate hyper-piracy en masse, none of them are ethical even in origin unless you're talking about the pre-product company charter kind of ethics, like google .

American IP laws aren’t universal, and last I checked neither is it popular in Silicon Valley.
Institutions surrounding dealing with IP Piracy is an American strong arm attempt to own the unownable and to use Russel conjugates to make the flagrant attempt seem just.
I do see less quality from reasoning at chatgpt compared to Gemini but otherwise i'm not seeing a year or years gap.
I suspect they have better RL setup for coding that makes their models better at coding than GPT/Gemini in practice.
