I was no ordinary recipient of orders.. I was part of the thought process. I was an idealist.

Let me tell you a story about how unethical Anthropic is.
In April, the Anthropic team began heavily courting our engineering team to tell them corporate secrets, technical details, and future plans for @cfosilvia.
They pretended their interest was due to our exploding popularity and accelerating compute usage, but it quickly became apparent that Anthropic was fishing for details on how we built our product and why it was so popular.
This included the Anthropic team trying to wine-and-dine our engineers, including a infamous steak dinner where someone told our team "don't worry about it, this is on Dario."
Our team was not born yesterday, so we quickly realized what was happening and refused to share sensitive information and technical details with the Anthropic team.
As we suspected, Anthropic was trying to get information from us, so they could build a competing product. Some people on their team must have a guilty conscious because they messaged us a few days ago to give us "a heads-up" that they were launching a competing product.
Thankfully, the Silvia engineering team has been aggressively working to get off the frontier models for the last ~ 6 months. That effort has been highly successful, because our compute costs are ~ 97% lower when we use our own model & hardware, the latency is lower, and the accuracy of answers materially increases as well.
The sad thing for Anthropic is they have now released an inferior product and they had to sell their soul to do it.
The only thing worse than being a trillion-dollar company that can't beat a 10-person team is being a trillion-dollar company that no one trusts and everyone knows is unethical.
Serious investors continue to choose @cfosilvia over ChatGPT, Claude, and other frontier companies because these products are not optimized to solve the actual user problem.
Today, Anthropic launched a Claude wrapper that is masquerading as a personal finance product. Best of luck to them.
But I will take the Silvia misfits vs the Anthropic losers any day of the week.

Nissan sued a computer repairman for $10,000,000 to take the Nissan․com domain.
His legal last name was Uzi Nissan.
He refused to fold, spent $3,000,000 fighting them in federal court for 8 years, and won.
This is the story of Uzi Nissan and why a $20B car giant still can't use Nissan․com.
1980-1994
- Uzi Nissan emigrates from Israel to Raleigh, North Carolina
- opens a small auto repair shop in 1980 using his family surname
- launches Nissan Computer Corporation on May 14, 1991 selling PCs and servers
- registers Nissan․com on June 4, 1994 for $70 while the automaker barely touches the web
December 10, 1999
- Nissan Motor Co. realizes a North Carolina PC shop owns their exact domain
- instead of paying his asking price, the automaker files a $10,000,000 federal lawsuit for cybersquatting
- Uzi refuses to back down and turns the homepage of Nissan․com into a public archive of their legal threats
1999-2007
- the court battle drags on for 8 years across district court, the Ninth Circuit, and a Supreme Court petition
- Uzi spends over $3,000,000 in legal fees and takes out two mortgages on his home
- federal judges rule a corporation can't strip a man of a domain built on his own birth name
July 2020 - Today
- Uzi Nissan passes away from COVID-19 in July 2020 at age 68
- when thieves hijack the domain after his death, a federal judge orders Nissan․com returned to his family estate in April 2024
To this day, Nissan Motors is forced to use NissanUSA․com.
If you type Nissan․com into your browser right now, you still don't get a car dealership.
You get a memorial to the computer repairman who beat a multinational giant over his own last name.
