Popular AI apps get caught in the crosshairs of Anthropic and OpenAI

Batlelines is drawn between the main AI laboratories and the popular applications on which they depend.

This week, the Antarbur and Openai took shots in two leading AI applications: Windsurf, one of the most popular coding tools, and Granola, which is the loud Amnesty International application to write the meeting notes.

“With less than five days of notification, the anthropies decided to cut almost all of our first party for all CLAUDE 3.X models.” Farun Mohan He wrote on X this week, noting, “We wanted to pay them for full ability.” An additional statement on Windsurf said on the Internet: “We are concerned that the behavior of Antarubor will harm many in the industry, not just Windsurf,” said an additional statement on Windsurf on the Internet.

Here, Mohan is the side damage of the anthropier competition with Openai, which has been reported to have Windsurfs for about $ 3 billion. The deal was not confirmed, but even the ghost of that was enough to cut the anthropologist to cut one of the most popular applications that work. After a spokesman said Techcrunch Maxwell is false Antarbur was “setting priorities for sustainable partnerships”, co -founder Jared Kaplan Put it frankly.

“We are really trying to enable our customers who will work with us in a sustainable way,” Kaplan told Zif. “I think it would be strange for us to sell Claude to Openai.”

Meanwhile, Openai sent its own warning this week to the ecosystem of the emerging AI application. She announced the “record mode” for Chatgpt – initially only for institutions accounts – which are copying calls and generating meeting notes. This is the primary use of Granola, one of the recently raised artificial intelligence tools that raised $ 43 million of additional financing and issued a mobile phone application.

Looking at the speedy development of Granola to do more than summarizing the meetings, I think the company is not at risk of extinction. However, it will be difficult to grow when hundreds of millions of Chatgpt users at the end of its main functions can.

It is not clear how tension will stabilize the aspirations of the product in Openai, anthropology and the needs of their customers in API. When I met the chief human product official, Mike CragerIn March, the company had just announced its own symposium of Claude to Windsurf and Cursor, which raised 900 million dollars this week. Krieger asked the clear question: How do you think of Anthrop for competition with API customers? He did not really answer.

“I think this is a truly accurate question for all laboratories and I try to get close to him.” Crager told me at that time. “We hope that we all can move between the adjacent aspects from time to time.”

Artificial intelligence investor Zach Cocov Put it well this week: “At a stage, models will need to determine whether they want to be stable platforms or compete for every vertical.”

Ultimately, this week was an invitation to wake up for many startups on the appearance of artificial intelligence models; If you are successful enough, you risk copying it with your model provider. Many companies think about this risk at the present time, especially as Openai is building a new team to help its API customers “translate abstract ideas into production applications.”

“You have to wonder whether the recent moves by the large artificial intelligence laboratories are to compete directly with the application layer will be a giant giant for the Jalawin occupants such as Google, Amazon, MSFT, etc.,” Michael MinanoOne of the members of the Granola Council, written this week. “If the developers are not able to trust the laboratories, it may be better to trust the big men as they did for the cloud?”

Different from artificial intelligence and job loss

This week, I heard that two CEOs are arrested with the increasing fear that artificial intelligence will destroy jobs collectively, at least when it comes to engineering roles.

The first was Sondar PachayWhom I saw talking at the Bloomberg Technology Conference in San Francisco. belittle Dario Amoudi Fear of the fear of loss of job, indicating that “we have predicted like this over the past twenty years about technology and automation, and has not played it in this way.” He went to the point of saying, “I expect to grow from our current engineering base until next year,” because artificial intelligence “allows us to do more.”

The next day, I walked on the street to the Moscow Center to see the CEO of Snowflake SRIDHAR RamaswamyWho spoke just a room with 4000 developers with Pioneer Amnesty International Andrew Nanger. Ramaswamy asked if AI had changed his employment plans, and said he agreed with the classification of contracting with engineers that NG just described on stage, as he was the best experienced engineer who benefit from artificial intelligence tools, followed by professional engineers early, all of them in artificial intelligence. He pointed out that new graduates who avoid artificial intelligence tools at the bottom of the arrangement of desire and may struggle to find jobs.

If anything, it is among the workforce-those who are in the middle of their career and hesitant to adopt artificial intelligence tools-and this is the most dangerous displacement in the short term. “Companies tend to middle management, so there is a big boost to get more people a job. How do we get it as much as possible? Historically, the snowflake was historically on the other side of the engineering side, so we balance this. “

“Oh, man, girls fight, right?” – representative. Alexandria Okasio Cortez Comment on the best day on Twitter years.

“There may be a world in which you have Amnesty International in the sky. You may have already you have already a group of agents of the field that requires a set of specific work to achieve this. I think the evidence was really turning towards these different models.” Openai’s Greg Brockman Speak at the artificial intelligence engineer exhibition.

“Give it a year. We will do one billion inquiries a week if we can maintain this growth rate.” – CEO of confusion Aravind Srinivas On the stage at the Bloomberg Technology Conference.

“We were incorrect cash flow in the first quarter, which was cold.” – CEO of Spectak Chris is better Speaking at the summit of the Creator economy in information.
