The eight pillars
Each pillar 0 to 100 on fixed goalposts, with its rank among the 13 ranked labs. The tick marks the median lab; points are what the pillar adds to Strength.
Why Anthropic is #1
Most of its Strength comes from Capability and Usage and adoption. Points are contributions to the Score.
- Ahead of OpenAI by 1.0 points. Biggest differences: Ecosystem +3.5, Value −2.6, Trust, safety and privacy +0.8; Direction −0.2.
With every pillar weight moved up to 50% either way, it ranks 1 to 2 in 90% of recalculations; with equal weights, #1.
Since 18 Oct
Score down 0.0 (79.8 to 79.8). Usage and adoption −0.1, Direction +0.1.
