  • They do seem to have done a "better" job of marketing

    But are disappointing like Apple for being a "closed" ecosystem

  • This may not last as long with alternatives catching up. Markets would have more 'inertia' for hardware and app ecosystems than for subscription-based software/AI.

  • Great, can we have thought traces back yet?

  • Vercel data as proof of market dominance is hilarious. Obviously next.js pet projects are mostly generated by Claude, it's just unmatched for frontend right now. But enterprise with their rag pipelines is sitting on Azure with OpenAI, and there are completely different budgets spinning there that simply don't make it into any Vercel dashboards

  • My hot take: the only people willing to pay for LLMs are using it for code generation, and they prefer Claude.

  • the credibility of using vercel data - means the journos were lazy.

    vercel is mostly used by the 'next.js' kids - so that ain't gonna paint the full picture.

    again vercel is just reselling aws services at high marked up prices - so people paying for vercel again are most likely to pay for anthropic models. though we know models are a commodity at this point - without major differentiation.

    what a lazy analysis.

  • Nope, Apple delivers the best hardware out there, Anthropic doesn't, they dumb dound, nerf it, put in constraints.

    Yes, Apple provides a closed ecosystem, this isn't news. Anthropic is manufacturing the closed ecosystem themselves now, trying to capture via regulation.

  • I think the reason is that after all the benchmark comparisons, anthropic models still perform much more reliably and better in day to day use. Every day now there is a new supposedly fable level model that then somehow completely vanishes in a couple of days. While fable is still the best model and if only it were cheaper less people would be hating I suppose.

    This really reminds of the spec comparison obsession android users had in the 2010s. Every 6months an 'iPhone killer' was released, but they were only ever superior in total isolation.
