How come I rarely see news about Anthropic? Aren’t they the closest competitor to ChatGPT with Claude? Or is LLama just so good that all the other inference providers without own products (Groq, Cerebras) are equally interesting right now?

Because you're not looking? Seriously, don't mean to be snarky, but I'd take issue is the underlying premise is that Anthropic doesn't get a lot of press, at least within the tech ecosystem. Sure, OpenAI has larger "mindshare" with the general public due to ChatGPT, but Anthropic gets plenty of coverage, e.g. Claude 3.5 Sonnet is just fantastic when it comes to coding and I learned about that on HN first.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet is fantastic and that’s why I’m wondering why all the business news I see on HN ([company] makes deal with [other company]) almost always seems to involve OpenAI, not Anthropic. Branding-wise and strategically (with the focus on alignment) it seems like they‘d be a perfect fit for Apple, yet they seem to instead focus on OpenAI. That surprises me and makes me curious about the reason
