As the clear category leader in HN posting, I agree

Google has an edge, always a "personal experience" comment about leaving OpenAI/Anthropic in the dust every time new model gets posted.

It's marketing copy--I wouldn't expect them to say otherwise.

Microsoft engineers use their offerings over OpenAI - their partner.

That isn’t nothing.

They're being told to by management. That says approximately nothing about the relative merits of the two products, but it certainly says something. What, exactly? Who knows...

Other companies have a similar top-down "use Claude" mandate as well.

It is approximately nothing, since lots of MS engineers use Apple products too.

Is it nothing though? How many Apple employees do you think use Windows? And how many Anthropic employees do you think use GitHub Copilot? I would assume the answer to both is approximately 0.

Apple does pretty well for themselves - are you sure that’s not a positive signal for Anthropic?

It is quite obviously Microsoft. They use the same (in my dictionary illegal) tactic they did with Teams.

I mean, I do think it is true, I’m not sure if this is like fastest toddler in the preschool or whatever.
