Gemini 2.5 Pro vs. Claude 3.7 Sonnet: Coding Comparison

The loser in the AI model competition appears to be... Microsoft.

When ChatGPT was the only game in town Microsoft was seen as a leader, thanks to their wise investment in Open AI. They relied on Open AI's model and didn't develop their own. As a result Microsoft has no interesting AI products. Copilot is a flop. Bing failed to take advantage of AI, Perplexity ate their lunch.

Satya Nadella last year: “Google should have been the default winner in the world of big tech’s AI race”.

Sundar Pichai's response: “I would love to do a side-by-side comparison of Microsoft’s own models and our models any day, any time. They are using someone else's model.”

Any way you can back up that Copilot is a flop?

Lots of articles on it... and I am not even talking about competitors like Benioff [1]. I am talking about user complaints like this [2]. Users expect Copilot to be fully integrated, like Cursor is into VSCode. Instead what you get is barely better than typing into standalone AI chats like Claude.AI.
