Handy-Manon The AI Race Just Got Awkward

I am talking about correlating Anthropic/OpenAI cache prices going down with Deepseek publication - neither of those labs have said that's what they used for example.

And the only data they are showing is that cache prices went down for new Claude/OpenAI models but that's proving nothing, IMO.

Just assumptions, nothing backing it. So maybe I'd sit out calling others out.

Edit: Apt domain.

Their position seems fair to me - sure it does help them as well, but I don't necessarily disagree with the risk they are laying out.

Handy-Manon Grok 4.5

From what I have read, their pre-training team is much better than anyone else. For OpenAI, their post-training team is better. And apparently OpenAI has consistently struggled at training a bigger model than GPT 4 level

Handy-Manon Microsoft to Stop Sharing Revenue with Main AI Partner OpenAI

I suppose continue to host until the 2030/32 that they have access to but not share revenues when they use those models for their products like the bazillions of Copilots.

Handy-Manon The next phase of the Microsoft OpenAI partnership – OpenAI

Yeah my bad, I was misremembering, it was about investing in others and pursuing its own "AGI" efforts. But even those conditions were updated over the last two years, hence the small investment in Anthropic last year.

Handy-Manon Microsoft and OpenAI end their exclusive and revenue-sharing deal

It also restricted Microsoft from "partnering" with anyone else. Wouldn't be surprised if we see another news like Amazon, Alphabet investing in Anthropic.

Handy-Manon Google to invest up to $40B in Anthropic in cash and compute

That's the last round they raised at. They had other offers from VCs at ~850B they rejected. Seems like may have been in works since that last round was being raised and just finished paperwork?
