A bit of an insulting way to start the article.
Plenty of researchers and smaller companies would disagree, but they won't get articles written about them because they're not embroiled in DOW killbot drama.
We might not be in this situation if all of this money was given to them instead.
Says windowscentral.com... People outside of Big Tech haven't heard of Anthropic nor do they care about this dispute. What normal poeple might have heard is probably more something along the lines of Anthropic and supply-chain-risk and unpatriotic...
One thing to take into account, this will now be a large source of revenue for them. You thought you would get away with the free tier, but now as a tax payer, we are all funding it.
If anything, this just means the free tier is now more likely to stick around—gov contracts need broad adoption to justify spending, and free users are their dataset.
OpenAI is already profitable though. The government spending here just accelerates that. They're not going to need bailouts like banks or automakers did.
I know this is very picky but I find the font choices of Claude quite distracting and difficult to read. I might try Gemini but the Trump admin would probably force Google to sell YouTube to Larry Ellison so they will capitulate. Are any of the Chinese frontier models available on neutral infrastructure?
It seems like Claude's settings let you pick the system font. Is there a reason to not change your system font to something you don't find distracting? It seems like it would have knock-on benefits by making every application less distracting.
> are any of the Chinese frontier models available on neutral infrastructure?
Yup, Check out Openrouter providers for your particular chinese frontier model/ open weights model in general and you could find the location of all providers who host that model and where they are hosted (US/EU countries etc.) as well.
You can also change Claude font as others are mentioning.
I can't tell if this is satire but if not, you're only holding yourself back. It's far from the leading model family for a while now for almost any workload.
This article makes no sense. ChatGPT is a search engine and knowledge base with an anthropomorphic front end. It's Google with human characteristics. I think, IMHO, people take AI way too seriously and see in it a boogeyman to conquer.
