Diversity scales with seriousness. The more you build, the less tied you are to a single model family:

- Median labs per month, Oct 2026: 5 for customers spending $100 to $1K, 8 for $1K to $10K, 12 for $10K+.

- Of the $10K+ customers, 97% use 3 or more labs and 90% use 5 or more.

- Among $100+/mo customers, fewer than 4% of any major lab's users use that lab alone. Even Anthropic, the stickiest, gets only 39% of its customers' spend.
