The acceleration rate has been extraordinary… they went from mostly unknown outside AI circles to the number one player almost overnight. If that’s not “blown past” I don’t know what is.

Do ordinary people really know what Anthropic is?

  They know that "claude's the good one"

  They know the cool kids have ditched OpenAI and now use Claude

  They certainly know claude. I keep telling them they are all about the same.

  Ironically their tussle with the US federal government is what made them a household name [1] There's no better way to create awareness of a brand than to get it featured in the most popular reality TV show globally at the moment: "Thing Trump Did: Season 2."

  Of course not. Normal people are using gemini, it comes pre-installed on Android now.

    This is the answer for gen pop. Gemini is going to mop up the floor on most use cases as its ingrained in google search.

The branding of Claude is so much stronger than ChatGPT. Even Anthropic is such better branding than OpenAI (especially considering they're not open at all). My wife knows about Claude because that's what I use and we pay for. She uses it also as a result. And inevitably she will talk about Claude to her friends.

  OpenAI is as open as Anthropic is anthropic.

    Great line. The irony of these names can't be overstated.

  > The branding of Claude is so much stronger than ChatGPT. Absolutely not, you live in a bubble. Everybody knows about ChatGPT. Few non-programmers have heard of anthropic or claude, nor do they care. But they all know what ChatGPT is.

    ChatGPT is a word now. People may use Perplexity, or Google, or Grok to ask questions online. And later they tell you "ChatGPT told me this". It's a new "I googled in Yahoo".

      ChatGPT is the 5th most visited site (as well as has nearly a billion weekly active users) and none of the competitors are even close. In the consumer space, Gemini is doing well but Claude is not even in the same galaxy. OpenAI is undoubtedly the leader in consumer LLMs and by a large margin. I'm sure there are mixups, but if someone is telling you they're using chatGPT, they almost certainly mean they're using chatGPT.

I remember seeing expensive multi-page ads for Claude in the New Yorker over a year ago. Their marketing has been working the high end of the “regular people” market for a good while.
