"OpenAI is constantly in the news with a new consumer app or feature, and is being billed as the next great consumer tech platform. Most recently it made news by offering a social network around its Sora image generator, and even says it plans to allow NSFW content on ChatGPT. Anthropic, meanwhile, has chosen a different path. The company stresses that because it gets most of its revenues from businesses and developers, it's not trying to capture the mass market, and it's not terribly concerned about how long users spend on its platform every day."
""We are interested in our consumer users to the degree they are doing work, solving problems in their life," says Anthropic design chief Joel Lewenstein during an interview with Fast Company this week. "Because we're not interested in passive consumption and image generation and video generation-we just sort of have ruled those out from a mission perspective . . .""
OpenAI emphasizes consumer-facing products, frequent feature rollouts, and social experiences, exemplified by a Sora image-generator social network and plans to permit NSFW content on ChatGPT. Anthropic concentrates revenue generation on business and developer customers and deliberately avoids competing for mass-market attention or maximizing daily user engagement. Anthropic excludes features tied to passive consumption such as image and video generation and prioritizes users who apply models for work and problem-solving. Product choices align with mission and commercial focus rather than pursuit of broad consumer entertainment or attention-driven growth.
