All of big tech (except Google obviously) is pushing hard for Claude Code internally. I’m talking “you all have unlimited tokens and we’re going to have a leaderboard of who used the most” kind of push.

Only if the margins are negative. Yes, the cost to serve is most likely higher than Google's SRP, but I think the ads can be even better targeted and potentially have a higher CPM than Goog's. What I'm saying is that I believ

Longer sessions. You also have more potential for brand advertising compared to Google Search (which is mostly conversion ads). That being said, it's risky and can ruin your product if done wrong, but I think there are ways to do it ri

I they tread very carefully, I do think their free+ads strategy has a huge potential payoff.

The amount of tokens you get on Codex for $20/mo compared to Claude Code is indeed insane.

Ask anybody you know that works in Big Tech. They're all pushing hard for Claude Code adoption.

I do wonder how much of Amazon's $50B share (per last press release) is in AWS credits rather than money in the bank.

Previous was $730B pre money. This one is $852B post money. So yeah it's the same one. Good catch.

This has to be just an extension of their previous raise, right? This was a month ago: https://openai.com/index/scaling-ai-for-everyone/

Given how all of Big Tech (except Google obviously) is going all in on Claude Code, I wouldn't be surprised if Anthropic becomes profitable first.

When I worked on Google Ads, we used time series forecasting to compute the odds of an ad campaign reaching its goal (and to tell users how likely they were to hit them). A ton of (unsophisticated) advertisers would just draw a line from ze

Oracle has >$60B in revenue and $16B in net income. It doesn’t seem crazily overvalued to me? Perhaps you were looking at quarterly statements? https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ORCL/financials/

I would say I agree. That being said, my experience is biased from working in Big Tech where the accents are on such a wide spectrum that people have no choice but to develop a "flexible" ear.

As a native (Québécois) French speaker who's been living in the US for most of my adult life, something I miss from French is that once you've learned the (many) rules, you can be pretty confident about how to pronounce a given wo

This is a good and clever benchmark and a worthy successor to the previous two. That being said, I find that the "No tools" approach is a bit odd. They're basically saying that it's OK to have tools as long as they'
