Days after sweeping layoffs, Elon Musk vows xAI will match rivals Google, Anthropic and OpenAI this year

Just days after announcing the reorganization of the company and pushing out many of its co-founders, Elon Musk has claimed that xAI will catch up with leading AI labs like Anthropic, OpenAI and Google by this year. The billionaire also went on to add that the company would go on to overtake its rivals by a long distance in the coming three years.

Musk was responding to a post on X by a user who claimed that Anthropic, Google and OpenAI are all tied for the top spot in the AI race, while Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta and Musk’s xAI were both seven months behind each.
