"Anthropic and OpenAI salespeople walk in like heroes, get a contract, and leave to literally never be seen again." There's an adage in tech: nobody ever got fired for buying IBM. Habib proposes an update: "People should be getting f***ing fired," she says. "That's the best way to infuse some sanity into this market."
Azure had a real competitive advantage thanks to being the only hyperscaler able to offer OpenAI models, but this also hindered OpenAI, particularly once it became clear that many enterprises cared first and foremost about accessing models on their current cloud of choice; I've been noting for a while that this was a real competitive advantage for Anthropic.
