Right! it seems obvious why: Both these companies want to dogfood their own coding models and stop paying competition.
replyYou can also read this as diminishing returns / AI isn't good enough, etc, but the simplest explanation is that they don't want to send money to Anthropic.
This, and in addition to dogfooding, incentivizing employees to be more effective with the cheaper models. A lot of problems don't need anything fancy, but it takes more brain power and engineering effort to make that work. By default humans will take the path of least resistance if it's available.
replyThis is likely the future as well. Down the road, every company will have their own internal coding models.
replyDoes MS have coding models?
replyBut Microsoft and Meta are not blocking competitor tools for internal use, they're merely trying to reduce costs and divert a fraction of use to their own technologies. Microsoft and Meta are both still spending nine figures a year on Claude, and the article does not state or imply they're even considering a complete halt.
replyMicrosoft has full and unlimited access to OpenAI models. That was some agreement when they invested originally.
replySo nobody except AI labs is allowed to do "data governance"?
