r/singularity on Reddit: Do you think Anthropic is ahead of OpenAI. Or is OpenAI waiting to release a big model?
June 24, 2024 -
I am genuinely curious on how many here believe OpenAI is hiding a big model so they can use it when they feel threatened or if they need permission from the government because of how big it is.
But with Claude 3.5 Sonnet, it makes me think that OpenAI may be the Hare in the Tortoise and the Hare fable. They acted all tough and went blazing fast initially but got cocky from winning so much they failed to keep up.
So what are your guys views?

Could be either or, OpenAI has either got a massive upgrade of a model and doesn’t want to release it before the election, or the competition is truly gaining ground. There is some evidence though that the secretive hypothesis is true, OpenAI didn’t want to tell us what Q* was, the Chinese did ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/2406.14283 ) they didn’t release SORA, two other competitors did, and they haven’t lived up to their promise of live chat with the model ever since the ScarJo incident. I’m going to stress that this is the reason why I never wanna let corporations have a monopoly on this kind of thing, it’s exactly why open source needs to exist. OpenAI has profit only motive at this point and I fully believe they are Microsoft’s plaything now. They don’t want to create a proper super intelligence anymore, they want products marketed as tools. Maybe my last paragraph will turn out to be wrong in time, but from what I can tell, they’ve gone full private and closed source in favour of executive orders. I don’t know if they have GPT-5 sitting in the bleachers right now, but if they do, it’s just more of their walled off antics that they’ve been doing since last September.

3 weeks ago - Though it has household name recognition, OpenAI is unfocused, chasing consumers rather than enterprises, launching expensive features faster than it can manage them and, ultimately, confusing activity with progress. As a result, OpenAI sees 30 percent of revenue from businesses and is pursuing dominance by outspending competitors even without a clear path to upside. Anthropic generates 80 percent of its revenue from businesses, however.

r/MachineLearning on Reddit: [D] How can Anthropic Compete with Google/OpenAI
March 4, 2024 -
My understanding is that success in GenAI is = talent + data + compute power. How can a startup with $750M in the bank can win against Google, which has all the data and compute power in the world. Additionally, Google and DeepMind still employ some of the best minds in AI as far as I know.
One argument is that data and compute power have only marginal benefits after a certain point, and Anthropic has enough of those to compete. But eve then, the amount and quality of talent at Google and OpenAI should be enough to crush Antrhopic. Is the value of talent overrated at this point?
