Apple has a lot of actual money, Anthropic does not. Apple sells a lot of products, Anthropic doesn't. Apple have a platform multiple players want a piece of, Anthropic fight to stand alone.

There's very little comparison to be had here. Also, Anthropic likely have investors with way too much leverage for them to stop.

Apple can swoop in and gobble Anthropic and OpenAI up when they are on the auction block. Or just hire their talent away.

Maybe Apple is just waiting on the line until someone can be sucked up at a penny if the house is on fire - and pretty sure, this will happen. Not in 2027, but I expect MA activites & consoliation before 2030
