    I never want to hear from developers again that they are not susceptible to marketing. I see meet ups specifically about Claude often.Modern tupperware party.A colleague was convinced Claude is better so we played a game. We used the claude code and codex harness and I implemented some prs they needed with gpt5.5 and opus4.7 and asked them to identify which came from which only from the code.Couldn’t tell.

    Pointless article (like much of the AI marketing hotness and spin room).> The new valuation is nearly three times higher than the company’s February valuation, when Anthropic was estimated to be worth around $380 billion.> In March, OpenAI was valued at $852 billion following a record $122 billion funding round.Basically, today (Late May) we're declaring Anthropic the most valuable. They've nearly tripled in value since February. But also, OpenAI was $852B in March and presumably has grown since then.In a few weeks we'll either have a new rounding of funding for OpenAI or they'll announce their IPO and the hype train will be abuzz that they're now the most valuable.

    codex gtp-5.5 is far superior to opus 4.7 working on large projects

    All overvalued.

    How much dilution? Who’s getting the value?

    It’s because the programming works.OpenAI. Spent its resources on AGI whilst Claude worked on making programming work.Google Gemini is out of the race entirely its programming AI is a joke.

    The models aside, my impression is that Anthropic is winning in large part because of very pragmatic and high-velocity product development on top of them; like with Claude Code. I haven't tested the similar OpenAI/Google tools in detail lately though.Is there something to this?

    Start what?

    ChatGPT dropped the ball for a while that most devs and technical people went to Claude for a year or more, they still probably have the most normie market share + are at least trying to win back some of that delay in their latest model so it'd be interesting to see

    Unicorns, strapped with rockets, too busy looking at each other to realise the Earth is far gone.They'll kill us all, or they'll kill each other. They sure as hell ain't making the world a better place, like they promised.
