Anthropic surpasses OpenAI to become most valuable AI startup

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 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.

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

GPT-5.5 is the better programmer but Opus 4.8 remains the better system architect and product designer.

Codex is very "miss the forest for the trees", but is much better at successfully making large changes in large codebases. Claude Code makes more mistakes, but has more taste and a better grasp on idiomatic and elegant software development.

If you can afford to, I recommend juggling both.

		I find arguing that a complex weighted graph has a taste is interesting. This is not a jab, but a genuine curiosity of mine.

In what ways? LM Arena has Opus 4.7 w/ 1567 -/+ 7 vs. 1505 -/+ 10 from GPT-5.5 Codex in code. I'm currently using both.

Admittedly my recent experience tilts Opus now 4.8, but you and others have my interest piqued re: GPT-5.5 Codex so I'm trying that more now.

Opus 4.7 is not the current version of Opus.

How much dilution? Who’s getting the value?

The models aside, my somewhat vague 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 used similar OpenAI/Google tools lately though.

Is there something to this?

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

		The "normie" market doesn't pay for enterprise features though. They might cost more in inference then they make back from advertising.
