Sources detail how OpenAI fell behind Anthropic in revenue growth and valuation after prioritizing consumer chatbots and flashy side projects over coding tools (Berber Jin/Wall Street Journal)
Anthropic used AI coding tools to pull ahead while OpenAI’s attention was elsewhere.
Techmeme’s note says WSJ sources describe OpenAI losing ground to Anthropic in revenue growth and valuation. The cited reason is OpenAI’s emphasis on consumer chatbots and splashier side projects, while Anthropic captured more of the coding-tool opportunity. The note also says some large OpenAI investors have privately worried about high cash burn relative to growth. Techmeme's note
