A Critical Look at Silicon Valley’s AI Giants: Not a Single One Can Compete
In previous articles, we talked about how Anthropic is racing ahead, OpenAI is fighting back, and Google is lagging behind. Today, let’s take a look at what the rest of Silicon Valley’s tech giants are doing in AI.
Let me start with my conclusion: not a single one can compete.
Two years ago, these big Silicon Valley companies were all ambitious, pouring money in left and right. Looking back now, who can truly lead in AI? Hardly any.
I’ve ranked these five companies in order, and I’ll go through them one by one.

@dongxi_nlp: A very valuable article, the last 6 takeaways are worth pondering. Among them, the last two: 5. The data industry is far from developed. Anthropic and OpenAI spend over $10 million on a single environment, while Chinese AI labs have a 'build rather than buy' mentality. 6. Countless...
The article summarizes the current state of the AI data industry, pointing out that the data industry is not yet mature. Anthropic and OpenAI spend over $10 million on a single environment, while Chinese AI labs tend to build rather than buy. In addition, many labs have access to Huawei chips but still crave more Nvidia chips.
@0xLogicrw: Google DeepMind researcher Lun Wang announces departure, and in a long post completely dismisses the current AI evaluation approach. The current evaluation systems are all 'fighting the last war' — they can only passively test capabilities the model already possesses, and have no way to predict what new abilities the next generation of models will suddenly evolve. Compared to data, …

@VincentLogic: If Ilya Is Right, the Three Strongest Consensuses in AI Over the Past Few Years Might All Be Wrong: Scaling Is No Longer the Universal Answer. High Benchmark Scores Don't Equal True Intelligence. RL Might Even Be Making Models 'Dumber'. This Interview, Called 'the Last Interview Before Ilya Disappeared'...
Ilya Sutskever suggested in an in-depth interview that the three core consensuses of the AI industry over the past few years could all be mistaken: Scaling is no longer a silver bullet, high benchmark scores do not equate to real intelligence, and RL is instead making models 'dumber'. He believes the dividends from pre-training and RL are nearly exhausted, AI has re-entered the era of research, and true superintelligence should possess a strong learning capability like a gifted teenager, not a static repository of knowledge.
