So it looks like OpenAi is partnered with Microsoft, and (to a lesser degree) Anthropic is partnering with Google. Where does this leave Meta and Amazon?

Google investing that much in Anthropic doesn't seem to be a huge vote of confidence for what it has in-house.

Google is investing $300M in Anthropic which is quite the interesting turn of events The report says the deal is being done by their cloud division Likely means Anthropic switches their stack from PyTorch + Nvidia GPUs to Jax + TPU like Cohere and C3 $NVDA https://www.ft.com/...

Serious question for Accounting Twitter: Now that there are two of these, when a company uses its balance sheet in a transaction that requires boomerang use of same dollars for their services, are they able to recognize said revenue? Couldn't you juice you own numbers writ large?…

Google invests $300mn in buzzy artificial intelligence start-up Anthropic. The company is also backed by Sam Bankman-Fried, whose stake is a key asset in the FTX bankruptcy. Scoop w/ @RichardWaters https://www.ft.com/...
