OpenAI and Anthropic Rival Their Largest Customers
AI labs integrate models into client businesses then launch rival offerings in multiple sectors.
Retweets and commentary from NLP researchers and ML engineers highlight a thread showing OpenAI and Anthropic building direct competitor products after embedding their models with major clients. Sectors named include design, drug development, and recruiting. The pattern is presented as cannibalization of the companies' own biggest customers.
