"If you want to know one of the biggest rivalries in AI, just ask for a show of hands. On Thursday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei provided what is sure to become an iconic image of their feud. The pair went viral for refusing to join hands as the rest of the world's tech leaders gathered for a moment of unity, sparked by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi."
"In June 2020, OpenAI began to show just how far the technology had come with the release of GPT-3, considered to be the first highly capable Large Language Model (LLM). Amodei told The New York Times that the model had "this emergent quality." Independent researchers told the publication that GPT-3's capabilities surprised them, even as the model still showed signs of struggle. To address safety concerns, OpenAI initially controlled access through a private beta."
Sam Altman and Dario Amodei went viral for refusing to join hands, creating a striking public image of the rivalry between OpenAI and Anthropic. OpenAI released GPT-3 in June 2020, revealing emergent capabilities and prompting controlled private-beta access to address safety concerns. Anthropic positioned itself as a stable leadership team and Amodei used public appearances to contrast that stability with competitors. OpenAI experienced departures and internal turmoil, including Andrej Karpathy's exit and Altman's brief removal in November 2023 with involvement from a fellow cofounder. The relationship between former colleagues evolved into a prominent corporate rivalry.
