alt Hacker News> Google, Microsoft, or Amazon are more likely to be the AI leaders than OpenAI or Anthropic.
If not now, then when will these companies be AI leaders?
Even Google, with its staggering advantages in cash, compute, real estate, training data, and having basically invented the field only manages to briefly claim a 1-2 week lead once or twice a year.

Have you done a google search recently? The response time beats any anthopic or openai stuff, by an order of magnitude. They already are.
Better to stay in the game and keep pace with the startups until they've burned up all their VC money and employees cash out after IPO.
You understand that most people use AI not for coding ???
Google literally has billions of user that simply integrating it all with Gemini is massive undertaking
sure gemini is not frontier for coding but you know that is doesn't matters for google consumer
The financials for Anthropic and OpenAI are likely borderline suicidal, google and co are publicly traded. Moreover, all innovations downstream to them dont they? Why not just stay slightly behind, especially given many have stake in those other companies?
