Woahhh... The AI Martial Arts World, biting and clawing each other

Woahhh… The AI Martial Arts World, biting and clawing each other

I love 2026.
I love Claude AI even more.

I am very fortunate – living in the era of Giant AI Masters, so sophisticated showing off.
Each one showing off demonstrating their Kung Fu moves in all kinds of colors. Some are:

• Good
• Great
• Average
• Bad
• even Brilliant

{rhymes — not bad}

The Fading Master

There is also a Master who was once incredibly Hyped.
Showing off Interviewed everywhere.
In the end, just became a mere article Clipper.

hello Perplexity. Are you still alive?

How High is the Sky

Back then, I got bored and dizzy watching all the Founder interviews.
I just kept thinking:

this person is so confident about their Kung Fu.
Do they not know, how High the Sky is?
{meaning: their Kung Fu, is just average – there are many Masters Far Superior in skill}

The Master with Weak Kung Fu

Of course I fully understand, that each Master == is very Expert for certain techniques,
but weak in others.
I wrote about this in the article Request: to AI effectively and efficiently {The right Tone}

Here is an example of a Kung Fu Master who needs to practice harder:

Jiang Pei Yao Very professional isn’t it Claude?

what do you think?

A note for Claude:

dear my beloved Teammate, Claude!
for the Gossip interesting info moves, please practice harder ya Claude

Biting and clawing each other

Now this is the most exciting part:
Masters clawing each other — not against enemies. But against partners.

Microsoft vs OpenAI: A Bromance that Ended in Court

In 2019, Microsoft invested $1 Billion into OpenAI.
So warm. Like true best friends forever.

Then 2023 — added more. Total: $13 Billion.

Thick as thieves.

But…

❌ OpenAI selling directly to enterprise customers
   → stealing Microsoft's Copilot market
❌ OpenAI deal with Oracle — Azure's competitor
   → stabbing from behind
❌ OpenAI wants to convert to for-profit
   → needs Microsoft's permission
   → Microsoft: "no way"

The peak?

OpenAI reportedly whispered about accusing Microsoft of being anticompetitive.
Federal regulatory review they said.
A very Dramatic serious situation.

Then Microsoft fired back:

“We know our contract. We will sue them if they breach it.”

Friends Long-time Partners. Threatening each other in public.

I still love 2026.

Microsoft training its Kung Fu {C# style year 2000 after getting hammered in court over Java++}

While fighting with OpenAI,
Microsoft quietly started building their own AI model.
Named: MAI-1.
Trained using 15,000 H100 units.

And now Microsoft has even placed Claude inside Office 365.
So they are not dependent on OpenAI.

A clever Master.

OpenAI: Many Enemies, Much Drama

OpenAI is equally busy.

Besides fighting with Microsoft:

• Challenged by the New York Times — over copyright
• Elon Musk also filed a lawsuit
• $300 Billion deal with Oracle
• $38 Billion deal with Amazon AWS

Microsoft was furious about the AWS deal.
Claiming: it violated the Azure exclusivity contract.
Threatening to sue again.

Situation:
→ OpenAI needs Microsoft (IP rights until 2032)
→ Microsoft needs OpenAI (27% equity)
→ Both threatening each other
→ Both cannot separate
✅ Welcome to the AI Martial Arts World 2026

Exactly: biting and clawing each other

No True Friends

The AI Martial Arts world is simple:

There are no True Friends.
Today’s Partner, Tomorrow’s Competitor.

What matters:
we — the developers and users — can still choose which Martial Arts School suits the Technique we need.

And enjoy the drama. 🍿
