Honestly, it’s kind of sad that Anthropic is winning this AI race. They are the most anti–open source company, and we should try to avoid them as much as possible.
They are all doing it because OpenAI is snatching their customers. And their employees have been gaslighting people [1] for ages. I hope open-source models will provide fierce competition so we do not have to rely on an Anthropic monopoly.

Considering the propaganda value in controlling the inputs to the machine that answers peoples questions, I rather expect them to be subsidized forever.
Consider the propaganda value of a centrally-controlled apparatus like the iPhone, and then reflect on the 100%+ profit margins that product has enjoyed for the past decade.
