AI's "Big Showdown" in August! Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI Unleash New Models on the Same Day

On August 5th local time, Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI simultaneously released new models, staging a "three kingdoms" battle.

In this intense showdown, the three giants showcased their distinct strategic layouts:

Google bet on the future, releasing Genie 3, a third-generation universal world model that lays the foundation for achieving General Artificial Intelligence (AGI);

Anthropic continued to dig deep into the high-value programming road, releasing Claude Opus 4.1, a model with stronger programming capabilities;

OpenAI used open-source as a "bait" and released free and commercially usable gpt-oss series models, aiming to build a vast developer ecosystem.

This intense "outmaneuvering" has unveiled the differences in competition. The AI battlefield of August may continue with "high energy". Anthropic announced that it will release "significant improvements" within a few weeks, and OpenAI previously declared that "an important week is coming", sparking speculations that GPT-5 might arrive.
