OpenAI is a bit more scattered brained and spread across multiple products.

Anthropic is way more focused. That helps in a way that builds upon another: their product tends to be better and the people's perception of it as well.

But "much less"? OpenAI needs a month or two of good choices, progress & announcements, and that flips. On the other hand, Deepseek could blow both out of the water unexpectedly, ending the argument about who has the superior tech.

There's also the Elon factor. Anthropic has a good relationship with Elon (to the point where he discounted the compute sold to them by quite a lot) while OpenAI/Sama is the devil to him.

But they are still not likely to be investment-grade at IPO.

I disagree with this, most normies will never use Claude code... but they WILL use ChatGPTs various modes and apps that handle a lot of things for them.

Their recent "intelligent ui" (forget what they call it), which turns the chat almost into a magazine is amazing for people when they start doing measuring or responses comeback as little graphs or diagrams showing this or that.

Claude is still not able to generate pixel images.

I agree Claude is better for the likes of you and I, but I see the opposite in non-technical people which is most people

What if I asserted that the MCP economy could be worth 5x more than LLM market since tools usually end up just being a fraction of the opportunity compared to market domination.
