X users clash over Anthropic vs DeepSeek: is success scaling compute or strategy?

An X thread captures a heated debate over Anthropic vs DeepSeek. @GenHeres123 argues Anthropic is the smartest AI lab — its B2B and coding bets made it the only lab generating real revenue and the most valuable AI startup within 5 years. @teortaxesTex counters that Anthropic's entire premise is that "AGI is a big blob of compute," everything else being downstream, calling DeepSeek's efficiency-focused path a strategic blunder. The squabble devolved into insults, but it reflects a genuine community split on scaling-vs-efficiency and compute-vs-strategy.
