Deep dives

Microsoft leading the AI race

Microsoft is currently leading the AI race, with their ability to cross-sell AI products like Office to a large user base. They have a strong presence and distribution within the enterprise, enabling them to command a premium and generate significant revenue. On the other hand, Google is lagging behind in AI, while Amazon is also far behind. Startups like OpenAI and Anthropic have made strides in the application and infrastructure layers, but Microsoft remains the frontrunner in the B2B space.
