Why do you think Microsoft is an AI giant? In my books, the AI Giants are: Alphabet, OpenAI, and Anthropic.

I wouldn't rate Meta, SpaceX, or Microsoft as AI giants, even though they have AI products.

Isn’t GitHub copilot pretty huge? I personally hate it and avoid it as the plague, but I see people using it

> copilot

Copilot is based on OpenAI's models.

Meta at least is an AI giant just from its internal use.

Even if Alphabet didn't have Gemini, it would also be a giant from its internal use.

I interpret "AI giant" not to mean who are the biggest USERS of AI, but rather, who is leading the direction of AI development / has the most leverage.

Sure, but Meta is developing AI for its own use.

That it doesn't have external customers is irrelevant when you look at the total use of its models.

Same.

But with the callout that SpaceX (via xAI) is trying really hard to be a giant.
