This is funny because everyone’s AI strategy should have been

“What do we actually need to be productive?”

Which is how Anthropic pulled ahead of Microsoft, that prioritized

Taking screenshots of every windows user’s desktop every few seconds. For productivity.

Anthropic has a model. Microsoft doesn't.

>>paxys+9y
Microsoft has a model nearly as old as the company.

Attempt to build a product... Fail.

Buy someone else's product/steal someone else's product... Succeed.

That's a "business" model, not a language model, which I believe is what the poster is referring to. In any case though, MS does have a number of models, most notably Phi. I don't think anyone is using them for significant work though.

It's a word play, if their LLM model sucks too much they'll get someone else's.

I mean they fought the browser war for years, then just used Chrome.

Which is kind of a bummer - it'd have helped the standards based web to have an actual powerful entity maintain a distinct implementation. Firefox is on life-support and is basically taking code from Blink wholesale, and Webkit isn't really interested in making a browser thats particularly compliant to web standards.

MS's calculus was obvious - why spend insane amounts of engineering effort to make a browser engine that nobody uses - which is too bad, because if I remember correctly they were not too far behind Chrome in either perf or compatibility for a while.
