Can't each of these companies with IDE integrations slurp up the network traffic and distill Anthropic's models? If you can listen to billions of tokens a day, you can basically capture all the magic.
That is not how training works…
DeepSeek is the most notable case, but it's been used lots.
And the foundation model companies are scraping and exfiltrating each others' data.
The irony of this, is that Microsoft was trying to push CoPilot everywhere, however eventually Apple, Google and JetBrains have their own AI integrations, taking CoPilot out of the loop. Slowly the AI craziness at Microsoft is taking the similar shape, of going all in at the begining and then losing to the competition, that they also had with Web (IE), mobile (Windows CE/Pocket PC/WP 7/WP 8/UWP), the BUILD sessions t…
CoPilot isn't anything Microsoft is trying to sell outside of their own products. And with GitHub Copilot there is no "copilot" model to choose, you can choose between Anthropic, OpenAI and Google models. Sure UWP never caught on, but you know why? Win32, which by the way is also Microsoft, was way to popular and more flexible. Devs weren't going to re-write their apps to UWP in order to support phones.
Before that ex-Microsoft guy was responsible for killing Nokia OS/Meego too in favor of Windows Phone - which got abandoned. What a train-wreck of errors leading to the mobile phone duopoly today.

Anecdotally: Azure is the Teams of cloud services - nobody uses it voluntarily or because it's technically the best solution. They use it because the corporation mandates it.
I’ve used Meet, Slack, Zoom and Teams extensively. Teams beats the others by miles in my opinion.
It works decently enough in web, mobile and desktop.
Still shocked Apple has not created thier own LLM, they have bought so many AI companies and have a rich talent pool and money so what's stopping them ?
Maybe they figure it’s just going to be hot swappable models and they’d rather save the 10s of billions on training for a commodified service.

Teams took the best bits from Skype and whatever that other service Microsoft had for businesses and their phones and started over basically.
I still have pet peeves about Teams (like why dont the 'Teams' within Teams have proper group chats like Slack would, its ridiculous!) but it could be way worse. After years of screensharing hell I can finally move the stupid top bar out of my way when trying to hit 'Debug' within Visual Studio at least.

> At some point Visual Studio seemed to be a legacy app only used for Windows-specific app development. Then they released VSCode and boom! I'm not sure what the point is. Visual Studio is still Windows-only; VS Code is not related to it in any shape or form, the name is deliberately misleading.
Indeed I heard directly from someone involved that the VS Code team understood the reputation of Visual Studio and wanted to call the product “Code” instead, and the compromise with marketing leadership was the the binary was called “code”.
