Standard OS-level API for LLM text completion requests

Standard OS-level API for LLM text completion requests targets a $6.0B = 2M businesses × $3K ACV total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 30% YoY — based on growth in AI developer tooling and API consumption reported in industry summaries and cloud provider announcements.

Key trends driving demand: Trend — Increasing adoption of LLMs across small apps and utilities creates demand for simple integration points so developers can add features quickly.; Trend — Shift toward local inference and hybrid deployments due to privacy, latency, and cost concerns creates opportunity for a protocol that supports local providers.; Trend — Enterprises demand governance and auditability of model calls, which favors solutions that centralize policy enforcement at the OS or platform level.; Trend — Developers prefer standard protocols (e.g., LSP) because they reduce integration cost and create ecosystem effects; a similar pattern can emerge for text completion..
