GPT-6 Astra May Be Winning, But ‘Don’t Write Off Anthropic,’ Says Microsoft Exec

Microsoft AI executive Nicolas Bustamante has warned against writing off Anthropic, even as OpenAI’s latest AI model, GPT-6 Astra, draws attention for its capabilities in coding, reasoning and autonomous capabilities. Bustamante said that while the GPT-6 Astra is an impressive model, Anthropic could still remain a major player in the growing AI market. He also argued that the competition between AI companies should not be viewed as a race where only one or two companies can succeed.
