anthropic has come up with a lot of the core successful consumer facing tooling/standards around ai.
they invented mcp, terminal coding agent, context files like claude/agents.md.
I have no real clue whos going to win the model race but they have repeatedly shown that their internal taste is on point, reminds me a lot of early google.
With one huge difference: you could never run the Google index on your local PC. But you can run a 'good enough' AI on your local PC. Good enough that Sam Altman thinks you shouldn't do it because he has better uses for your RAM than you do (oh, and besides, because it may hurt his IPO chances).
