Google invests $500 million in ChatGPT’s next rival

Google very quickly integrated the artificial intelligence of the ChatGPT language model into its search engine, and even made a significant investment in a startup called Anthropic. This one already runs the relevant tests before its chatbot with the clear intention of making it very difficult for OpenAI.

Anthropic and its chatbot

Via Bloomberg we know that Google has invested 400 million dollars in the startup artificial intelligence Anthropic. Neither commented on the investment, but separately announced Anthropic’s use of Google cloud services.

This agreement carries with it the latest alliance between the tech giant and a startup dedicated to artificial intelligence in the field of generative AI; technology that can generate text and art in seconds.

This Agreement has a series of limitations. The first is that it does not require the startup to spend its funds to acquire cloud services from Google. It’s all due to the fact that artificial intelligence, since the arrival of OpenAI months ago with its ChatGPT, has completely removed the technological table.

Indeed, one of the people who participated in the agreement, and whose identity is kept confidential, affirms that artificial intelligence has evolved since be an academic inquiry to one of today’s biggest digital and technology drivers.

Capital investment by big tech is becoming the norm, as are their layoffs, and it’s thanks to this war to have AI able to change everything or attract enough to implement it in software, the hardware and other solutions that we will see shortly.

Microsoft itself increased the capital invested in OpenAI with 10,000 million weeks ago. In this way, the big tech companies also ensure that they are on the front line of the battle, and thus attract the attention of these new startups.

Thomas Kurian himself, CEO of Google Cloud, recently said that the company’s cloud service provides open infrastructure for the next generation of AI-based startups. The same agreement with Anthropic is proof of this.

Who is behind Anthropic?

To know why Anthropic is perhaps the direct competitor of ChatGPT, we must go back to its beginnings, a startup created in 2021 by some of the leaders who ordered OpenAI in its first steps.

Among them, Daniela and Dario Amodei, who are taking part in the first tests of this new chatbot named Claude which will rival the already popular ChatGPT.

These big tech companies have huge cloud computing resources to attract startups like Anthropic into their ranks to prepare new releases. In this agreement announced by Google and Anthropic, it was also reported that the big G will be responsible for lending all these AI-based resources and chips so that the startup can use them to train and deploy its next AI-based products. artificial intelligence.

It will be in the months to come that Claude will become a reality and will be able to be tested by the public on foot. And of course, this agreement clearly shows that Google is moving very quickly not to lose a place on this table where different AIs will compete to become the perfect solution, or at least the one that will take the next big step in technological evolution. .
