How Anthropic Schismed From OpenAI | Kevin Roose

Anthropic's founding resulted from years of accumulated distrust between Dario Amodei and OpenAI leadership, not one triggering event.

• 2019 scaling memo: Dario Amodei's unpublished 'Path to AGI' memo predicted the LLM-then-RL-then-recursive-self-improvement roadmap the industry has followed since.
• Google's blind spot: Despite inventing the transformer and employing Ilya Sutskever and Amodei at Google Brain, Google stuck to narrow single-purpose models instead of scaling one general model.
