_Weeks_ old! What a fossil!
Slightly more seriously: what you say makes sense if and only if you're projecting Sam Altman and assuming that a) real legit superhuman AGI is just around the corner, and b) all the spoils will accrue to the first company that finds it, which means you need to be 100% in on building the next model that will finally unlock AGI.
But if this is not the case -- and it's increasingly looking like it's not -- it's going to continue to be a race of competing AIs, and that race will be won by the company that can deliver AI at scale the most cheaply. And the article is arguing that company will be Google.

I think you are missing the point. They are saying "weeks old" isn't very old.

I don't see how that follows at all. Quality and distribution both matter a lot here.
Google has some advantages but some disadvantages here too.
If you are on AWS GovCloud, Anthropic is right there. Same on Azure, and on Oracle.
I believe Gemini will be available on the Oracle Cloud at some point (it has been announced) but they are still behind in the enterprise distribution race.
OpenAI is only available on Azure, although I believe their new contract lets them strike deals elsewhere.
On the consumer side, OpenAI and Google are well ahead of course.

Last week it looked like Google had won (hence the blog post) but now almost nobody is talking about antigravity and Gemini 3 anymore so yeah what op says is relevant
