đź“ť Google benchmarking Gemini against Claude

In partnership with

News of the Day

Google contractors tasked with improving the Gemini AI model have reportedly been comparing its outputs to those of Anthropic's Claude, raising questions about whether Google obtained permission to use its competitor’s model for such evaluations. While Google claims it does not train Gemini on Anthropic’s outputs, the practice of comparing model responses, particularly for accuracy and safety, is fueling concerns about ethical and contractual boundaries. Contractors have noted that Claude prioritizes safety more strictly than Gemini, avoiding potentially harmful responses where Gemini has faltered. With Anthropic’s terms explicitly prohibiting the use of Claude for competitive purposes without approval, and Google being a major investor in Anthropic, the situation highlights the fraught landscape of AI development and competition.
