"Anthropic pledged to keep its large language model, Claude, ad-free, alongside a commercial poking at OpenAI, which is testing ads in ChatGPT. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman fired back with a 420-word post on X, calling the ad "dishonest." Altman was already fending off rumors about OpenAI's relationship with Nvidia, after the Wall Street Journal reported the chipmaker was pulling back from a proposed $100 billion investment. Reuters' sources said OpenAI has been exploring alternatives to Nvidia's chips."
"Between the lines: "What a huge coincidence that after Nvidia hurt OpenAI's feelings, OpenAI hurt Nvidia's feelings back... high school level behavior," Gil Luria of D.A. Davidson told Axios. Altman also has beef with Elon Musk, the xAI founder behind the Grok chatbot and a co-founder of OpenAI. Musk is currently pursuing two separate lawsuits against Altman - for abandoning OpenAI's original non-profit business model and for monopolizing markets. The two openly jab at each other online and in interviews."
Fighting around the Super Bowl highlighted tensions among AI firms. Anthropic pledged Claude would remain ad-free and ran a commercial targeting OpenAI, which is testing ads in ChatGPT; OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called that commercial "dishonest." Nvidia reportedly pulled back from a proposed $100 billion investment, and Reuters sources said OpenAI is exploring alternatives to Nvidia chips. Altman is also publicly at odds with Elon Musk, who is pursuing two lawsuits against him. AI leadership divides into research-focused labs that emphasize caution and governance and entrepreneur-led teams that prioritize speed, scale and competition.
