Claude 3 is setting the stage on fire, turning the cloud space into a dance battle of sorts. While Microsoft initially made Google dance, now Google and Amazon are making Microsoft sweat it out by integrating Anthropic's Claude 3 into their AI service offerings, namely Vertex AI and Amazon Bedrock. This development increases the pressure on OpenAI to release GPT-5, putting Microsoft Azure in a quandary.

OpenAI is all about priorities. However, it seems distracted at the moment with Elon Musk suing the company, accusing it of deviating from its original mission and becoming a de facto subsidiary of Microsoft.

The strongest model, Anthropic’s Claude 3 Opus, outperformed GPT-4 on common benchmarks like MMLU and HumanEval. Also, Claude 3 Sonnet, meant specifically for enterprise workloads, is now available on Amazon Bedrock and in private preview on Google Cloud’s Vertex AI Model Garden—with Opus and Haiku coming soon to both.

Many believe Claude 3 has reached AGI because of its ability to delight users. That also explains why the customer-obsessed Amazon invested $4 billion, alongside Google investing $2 billion in the AI startup. It is also interesting to see how the two cloud majors are joining hands to support OpenAI rivals and give Microsoft Azure a tough competition.
