OpenAI<\/a> and Dario \u200bAmodei of Anthropic.<\/p>\nThe two, who are locked in one of Silicon Valley’s fiercest commercial rivalries, were standing side by side as the 13 corporate leaders joined Modi on stage, but they kept their raised fists conspicuously \u200capart.<\/p>\n
Altman appeared visibly uncomfortable, looking \u2060away as the others, including Alphabet’s Sundar Pichai, went along with Modi’s nudge and joined hands.<\/p>\n
The episode, captured \u2060on camera and widely shared across social media, drew amused and pointed reactions online, with many users describing it as emblematic of the “AI cold war” \u200bbetween \u200bOpenAI and Anthropic.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t know what \u200bwas happening on stage. I \u200cwasn’t sure what we were supposed to be doing,” Altman later told news website Moneycontrol.<\/p>\n
OpenAI and Anthropic did not respond to Reuters requests for comment.<\/p>\n
Bill Gates pulled out of India’s summit hours before his scheduled keynote address on Thursday, dealing a blow to a flagship event already \u200cmarred by organisational lapses, a robot row \u200band complaints of traffic chaos.<\/p>\n
However, the summit \u200bhas attracted more than $200 billion \u200bin investment pledges.<\/p>\n
Anthropic was co-founded in 2021 by Dario \u200cAmodei and other former OpenAI \u200bemployees who broke away \u200bover disagreements about safety, commercialisation, and Altman’s leadership style.<\/p>\n
The rift has since hardened into a full-blown commercial war.<\/p>\n
At this year’s Super \u200bBowl, Anthropic aired satirical \u200ccommercials taking a pointed jab at OpenAI’s plans to introduce \u200badvertising inside ChatGPT.<\/p>\n
