A historic rivalry is unfolding right before our eyes. On one side, we have OpenAI — the artificial intelligence giant shaking up the world. On the other, Google — the company that defined browsing itself, and now, for the first time, finds its own home territory under threat.
ATLAS — THE NEW WEAPON OF OPENAI
And the reason behind all this? A new tool called ChatGPT Atlas. OpenAI just unveiled its first-ever AI browser yesterday, and the internet quite literally caught fire. We’re not talking about a simple ChatGPT add-on — this is a full-fledged web browser with built-in AI capabilities that feel straight out of science fiction.
Its most impressive feature? The so-called Agent Mode.
With Agent Mode, the browser doesn’t just show you information — it takes action. It can order the ingredients for a recipe, book you a dinner table or flight, and even complete purchases — all while you continue browsing normally. It’s like having a personal assistant that works for you, without you lifting a finger.
And the most impressive part? All of this is already available for Mac users and will soon arrive on Windows, iOS, and Android.
This is, without exaggeration, a direct attack on Chrome’s dominance. And the impact was immediate — Google’s stock fell 2% the very same day the Atlas announcement was made. For the first time, Google sees a rival seriously threatening its strongest product — Google Chrome, the browser used by more than 3 billion people worldwide.
GOOGLE & ANTHROPIC
However, Google’s stock ended the week with a new all time high — and that’s no coincidence.
Almost simultaneously, the company made its own checkmate move.
A new partnership with one of the fastest-rising stars in artificial intelligence: Anthropic.
According to Bloomberg, the two companies are in final talks over a deal that would give Anthropic access to computing power worth tens of billions of dollars. Yes, you heard that right — tens of billions.
Google will provide access to its TPUs, the specialized processors designed to run machine-learning models with exceptional speed and precision. And for those unfamiliar with Anthropic — it’s the company behind Claude, one of the most advanced competitors to ChatGPT.
Anthropic isn’t just another startup. It has reached an annual revenue run rate of over $5 billion, serves more than 300,000 business customers, and has nearly septupled the number of clients spending over $100,000 per year — all in just twelve months. It’s not only about expertise; it’s about momentum, resources, and enormous potential.
So Google isn’t simply preparing to counter with its own AI. It’s building an entire ecosystem designed to challenge OpenAI from every angle — from technology tools to strategic alliances with other leaders in the field.
INVESTMENT OUTLOOK
And here’s the key question: Who wins this war?
OpenAI has an incredible brand, world-class engineers, and ChatGPT — already woven into the daily lives of millions.
But Google is multi-layered. It has the infrastructure, the experience, and the capacity to build not only products but alliances. And above all — it has a strategy.
