I am not a fanboy of one or the other company but if you’ve ever wondered how Anthropic stays competitive against behemoths like Google/DeepMind, their catching up on math now makes it even more puzzling. Something to remember here is the sheer breadth of Google’s research. They’re world leaders in AI for protein folding (AlphaFold), weather prediction, world modeling (Genie), chip design (AlphaChip), generalist AI agents (Sima), and internally employ many other specialized research models, such as AlphaEvolve. They are also at the forefront of robotics (Gemini Robotics) and release competitive video-generating models (Veo). Soon, many of these disparate research projects will converge, at which point they might shoot far ahead. Additionally, don’t forget that both Google and Amazon are invested in Anthropic and supply them with compute. How OpenAI can possibly and competitively take on Google on so many varied interests, expertise and ambitions can be explained that much of OpenAI tools got popular because they were easy to use and resonated with average folks. OpenAI may decide to keep that fort and there’s nothing wrong with that. Average users make a bulk of today’s population of people interested to supplement AI in their business or focus on leverage AI tech to start and run entirely new businesses e.g. vlogs, blogs, vibe-coded apps etc. But Anthropic is what intrigues me and their competence is one force to reckon with. What’s their game plan to take on Google? submitted by /u/ranaji55
