When this blew up, everyone picked a side. Anthropic good, OpenAI bad.
People pictured a giant stomping on the little guy.
Here's the twist. Anthropic wasn't the little guy.
In the business world, more companies were already choosing Anthropic over OpenAI. Two years earlier it was the other way around. The "underdog" had quietly become the leader.
And the contract everyone was fighting over? 200 million dollars. For a company expecting to make around 18 billion this year, that's small.
Then it went to court, and this is the part most people stopped following.
One judge sided with Anthropic. She said the government punished them just for speaking up, and called it illegal.
A few weeks later, a higher court flipped it and let the ban stand while the case continues.
So one company got the deal. One got the public. One judge said the government broke the law. Another said let it run.
And it's still not over.
I cover a lot of these stories and the drama around AI and the tech world! #short
