Per The Information, Glean claims its AI assistant used about 70% fewer tokens than Anthropic's Claude Cowork across 180+ business tasks. The $7.2B startup is betting lower AI costs and tighter data controls to win enterprise customers.
Delip Rao adds an under-discussed point: strong open models and more provider competition make startups courageous enough to publicly share what they know without fearing frontier-access cutoffs — and FOMO is making people overspend on frontier AI.
