PHYSIX OBSERVATION

With ChatGPT holding more than 80% of traffic, user habits and network effects are extremely hard to dislodge, and growth at Gemini and Claude is still starting from a low base. For the industry, the competitive focus has shifted from fighting over the existing pool to expanding the global incremental market, with markets outside the US contributing over 90% of traffic, making overseas expansion and localization the key variables of the next phase.
