Summary

The author sharply reviews the performance of Silicon Valley tech giants in AI, asserting that currently none can truly lead, and analyzes the competitive landscape among companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google.

Sharp Review of Silicon Valley Giants: None Can Compete In previous posts, we discussed how Anthropic left everyone in the dust, how OpenAI staged a comeback, and how Google is trailing closely behind. Today, let's look at what the remaining Silicon Valley tech giants are doing in AI. Let me start with my conclusion: Not a single one can compete. Two years ago, these big companies were all ambitious, pouring money in like crazy. Looking back now, who is truly leading in AI? Almost none. I've ranked these five companies, and I'll discuss them one by one.

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.

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.
