Interestingly, another front page article today is about Apple choosing to use Gemini for Siri. A lot of the comments revolve around how much they will be locked in and how much the base models are commoditized. Google is pretty clearly ok with being an infrastructure/service provider for all comers. Same is true for Open AI (especially via Azure?) I guess Anthropic does not want to compete like that.

Anthropic offer their API, including for tools like Opencode. It’s more expensive than Claude Code, but I don’t think it’s priced significantly differently to competitors. Obviously Apple aren’t paying API prices, and Google have a lot more to offer them, but I don’t think Anthropic would turn down that deal if they could have it. They have their models in AWS Bedrock too, and that is an option to auth with Claude Code. I think they do see vertical integration opportunities on product, but they definitely want to compete to power everything else too.
