He treats Claude as a primary frontier-model option and frames Anthropic's product moves alongside OpenAI's as the central AI epoch narrative for investors and operators.
Long-time ChatGPT user. Gil names ChatGPT in essays as part of his daily research workflow and uses it as the canonical reference point in his AI-market commentary on No Priors. His framing typically positions ChatGPT alongside Claude as the two primary consumer-AI products driving real revenue.
