The LLM landscape is dominated by a handful of key players, with OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Anthropic estimated to command around 90% of the market. While partnerships and limited data make the market somewhat difficult to measure, OpenAI is the leader, followed by Google. That’s not surprising, given that OpenAI had almost a one-year first-mover advantage over Google. ChatGPT launched as a viable solution in November 2022, compared to Bard’s slower evolution into the fully-baked Gemini, which debuted almost a year later. Even so, Google’s AI is ubiquitous, extending beyond the web into the best Android smartphones.
